"She" is a single by Green Day from the album Dookie. The song was written by Armstrong about a former girlfriend who showed him a feminist poem with an identical title.^[2] In return, Armstrong wrote the lyrics of "She" and showed them to her.^[2] She later dumped him and moved to Ecuador, prompting Armstrong to put "She" on the album. The same ex-girlfriend is the topic of the songs "Sassafras Roots", "Chump", "She's a Rebel" and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)".^[2] It is one of the few Green Day singles that did not have a music video. At a Green Day concert at Madison Square Garden in December 1994 Billie Joe Armstrong performed it naked. [1]
