Homecoming, welcoming back of former residents and alumni, is a tradition in several universities, colleges and high schools in North America. It usually includes activities for students and alumni, such as sports and culture events and a parade through the streets of the city or town.
"Homecoming" is the second of two "rock opera" songs on Green Day's seventh album, American Idiot. It is a full nine minutes and eighteen seconds long, and is made up of five movements. While frontman Billie Joe Armstrong writes most of the songs, this compilation features one part written and sung by drummer Tré Cool (entitled Rock and Roll Girlfriend), and another part written and sung by bassist Mike Dirnt (entitled Nobody Likes You).
