When I Come Around de Green Day fue escrita principalmente por Billie Joe Armstrong después de una discusión con su novia, Adrienne Nesser. La letra refleja los sentimientos de Armstrong durante el tiempo en que estuvieron separados, antes de que finalmente se reconciliaran y se casaran. La pista se convirtió en uno de los mayores éxitos de la banda, destacándose por su melodía pegajosa y letras con las que muchos pueden identificarse.
