Saviors was recorded in London, England, and Los Angeles, California, and sees the band collaborating with producer Rob Cavallo for the first time since 2012.Early reports stated that their forthcoming record would be titled 1972, signifying the year all three members were born.

Written and recorded as one of the last tracks for the album, Billie Joe Armstrong revealed that they immediately decided to release the song as the lead single after recording it. The band first performed the single and another song titled "Look Ma, No Brains!" live in Las Vegas, Nevada, when they were in Vegas for When We Were Young.The track constitutes "a look at the way the traditional American Dream doesn't work for a lot of people" but hurts them instead.
