"Waiting" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the third single from their sixth album, Warning. The song peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart.
The melody of the song is somewhat similar to that of "Do You Wanna Dance?" by Bobby Freeman as well as Petula Clark's "Downtown."
The song was also well received by critics. NME, in its review, stated that "'Waiting', with its Mamas And Papas melody and its Kiss Army hook, could sit respectably alongside the band's best material."Slant called the song "instantly memorable."
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.
