21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's eighth studio album, released on May 15, 2009 through Reprise Records. It is their first album of new material in nearly five years, following 2004's American Idiot, and their first to be produced by Butch Vig. Vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong describes 21st Century Breakdown as a "snapshot of the era in which we live as we question and try to make sense of the selfish manipulation going on around us, whether it be the government, religion, media or frankly any form of authority."

The span of nearly five years between American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown was Green Day's longest gap between studio albums in their career. The band had been working on new material since January 2006 but showed no signs of a new album until October 2008, when a video of the group recording in the studio was posted on YouTube. Upon its release, 21st Century Breakdown reached #1 on sales charts in fourteen countries.

On April 5 a thirty-second preview of the album's first single, "Know Your Enemy", was posted to the band's website. The following day the song was used as introductory music to the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Championship game. On April 7 Green Day performed sixteen of 21st Century Breakdown's songs during a surprise show at The Independent in San Francisco. The event was open to the public but was announced only a few hours before it began. The album's track listing and lyrics were first published on the band's website on April 11. Three days later they performed the album in full at the Fox Oakland Theatre in Oakland, California. Concertgoers were given programs containing all of the album's lyrics. David Fricke of Rolling Stone reviewed the performance, saying that it "brought out the 3D dynamics in the songs and gave singer-guitarist-songwriter Billie Joe Armstrong a stage big enough for him to indulge his inner Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey combined."

The single for "Know Your Enemy" was released on April 16, and the world premier of the song's music video occurred on April 24 on the MTV UK website. It was subsequently posted to the band's MySpace profile.

21st Century Breakdown was officially released internationally on May 15, 2009 through Reprise Records. A vinyl version was released, limited to 3,000 copies and consisting of three ten-inch records (one for each of the album's "acts"), a CD copy of the album, a sixty-page art booklet, and a digital download of the full album at midnight on the day of release.[citation needed] A limited edition CD version was also released with a 52-page lyrics booklet. iTunes offered a "deluxe edition" with two bonus tracks, covers of The Who's "A Quick One While He's Away" and Social Distortion's "Another State of Mind", and a preorder offer that also included covers of Elvis Presley's "That's All Right" and Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". The Amazon.com MP3 download offered a bonus live recording of "Burnout", while both the Target and Japanese import releases included a bonus six-song live CD. A second vinyl edition of 21st Century Breakdown is scheduled to be released on June 16, 2009.

21st Century Breakdown was only released in a Parental Advisory version containing explicit lyrics and content. Stores such as Wal-Mart refuse to sell albums with a Parental Advisory sticker, and requested that Green Day release a censored edition. Green Day chose not to release a censored edition and responded to Wal-Mart's request by stating, "There's nothing dirty about our record. [...] They want artists to censor their records in order to be carried in there. We just said no. We've never done it before. You feel like you're in 1953 or something."

21st Century Breakdown continues the rock opera style of its predecessor American Idiot. The album is divided into three acts: "Heroes and Cons," "Charlatans and Saints," and "Horseshoes and Handgrenades". Its loose narrative follows a young couple named Christian and Gloria through life in the United States following the presidency of George W. Bush, as they "deal with the mess our 43rd president left behind". Bassist Mike Dirnt told Alternative Press that the songs "speak to each other the way the songs on Born to Run speak to each other. I don't know if you'd call it a 'concept album,' but there's a thread that connects everything." MTV compared the material to classic rockers like The Who, while Spin called the title track "Green Day's most epic song yet." Rolling Stone called the album "even more ambitious than American Idiot" and "a record of die-hard punk ideals...tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock excitement."
