Reception
The song was also well received by critics. NME, in its review, stated that "'Waiting', with its Mamas & Papas melody and its Kiss Army hook, could sit respectably alongside the band's best material."[6] Slant called the song "instantly memorable."[5]
Music video
The video features Green Day playing in a house while a bunch of young adults are jumping around, breaking various items and having a party (in slow motion). It was directed by Marc Webb.[7]
