"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" (also called "Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)" or more commonly "Time of Your Life") is a popular song by the American pop punk band Green Day. Although written by lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong just after the release of their 1994 hit album Dookie, the song was not released until their third major-label album Nimrod in 1997 although a somewhat less polished version did appear as a B-side to the 1995 German import single for Brain Stew/Jaded.
