Every Green Day Album Closing Song Ranked From Worst To Best

In July 2011, British singer Amy Winehouse died at the tragically young age of 27.

Though they'd never met, Billie Joe Armstrong was a huge fan of Winehouse and was deeply saddened by her death. He put these feelings into words, which eventually became Amy, the final song on ¡Dos!.

With just a finger-picked guitar soundtrack to accompany him, Armstrong sings about how Amy was taken far too soon and makes the heartbreaking offer to be her friend, a statement tinged with regret based on the dire circumstances of her passing.

The context behind Amy helps elevate it to a new level, but the song itself has a lot going for it, even if it is quite simple on the surface. The decision to end the record on such a sour note could have backfired, but it instead serves to highlight how important Winehouse was to so many people and how her death profoundly touched them all.
