Watch Green Day record new single Dilemma at London’s RAK Studios

Earlier this month, Green Day unveiled the third single from their upcoming album Saviors.

And now they’ve shared a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the incredibly powerful Dilemma, which was recorded at RAK Studios in London with legendary producer Rob Cavallo. In the clip, you can see the trio meticulously piecing the single together, while also enjoying the delights of the capital city (and by that we simply mean pigeons).

In the current print issue of Kerrang!, Billie Joe Armstrong enthused of working with Rob again: “Rob definitely had a fire in his belly, and really wanted to work with us again. It made me realise how much we missed him, and how much we wanted to work with him. He’s one of the best rock producers of all time, as far as I’m concerned. His energy is off the charts. And when he’s on, you definitely get the best of yourself, and you rise above your own limitations at the same time.”

Check out the making of Dilemma below. “The masters at work in the studio,” reads the caption. “Just like that, Dilemma was born!!”
