The live recording of "When I Come Around" featured in the video took place during Green Day's era promoting their live album, "Awesome as F**k," released in 2011. This album captures the energy of their performances from the "21st Century Breakdown" tour, which followed the 2009 release of that album. "21st Century Breakdown" was a critical and commercial success, solidifying Green Day's status as a leading punk rock band, particularly after their earlier work with "American Idiot" in 2004. Notably, the live DVD showcases the band's dynamic presence in Japan, reflecting Green Day's strong international fanbase and their ability to connect with audiences worldwide. The recording era also underlines the band's versatility and commitment to live performances, featuring their classic hit while maintaining a fresh approach during the 21st century.
