== Background and composition ==
"21 Guns" addresses the topic of patriotism. Frontman and chief songwriter Billie Joe Armstrong told Q magazine, in May 2009: "It brings up 21st Century Breakdown in a lot of ways, and the 21-gun salute for someone that's fallen, but done in an arena rock 'n' roll sort of way."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greendayauthority.com/articles/115/7/ )〕
According to ''Q'', the song is "a mammoth power ballad with a chorus like Mott the Hoople's All the Young Dudes."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greendayauthority.com/articles/115/3/ )〕 William Goodman from ''Spin'' agreed, also comparing the song to All The Young Dudes.〔 ''Entertainment Weekly''s Simon Vozick-Levinson described it as a "sensitive arena rock cut that made us think of Toto's 'Africa'. While the chorus sounded more like ELO's 'Telephone Line.' A ''Rolling Stone'' article commented that it "has a dash of 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' to it." ''Spin''s Goodman agreed, writing: "This track covers a lot of territory in its five minutes, from a solo acoustic guitar (reminiscent of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams") to Brian May-worthy electric riffage. But the chorus holds the killer hook, as Armstrong hits highs with his voice in a thrilling moment."
