Whatsername refleja los recuerdos de un amor pasado no resuelto y la aceptación de la pérdida. Es la pista final del álbum American Idiot de 2004, una ópera rock que cuenta la historia de un personaje llamado Jesús de Suburbia. Whatsername sirve como una reflexión sobre un personaje femenino mencionado en otras partes del álbum, pero cuya historia se deja sin resolver.
