The melody of the song is similar to that of Petula Clark's "Downtown".[4][5]
The song also appeared as the 20th track on their International Superhits! in 2001.
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]
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]
