When I Come Around is de vijfde single van Green Day en onderdeel van het derde studioalbum, Dookie. Het nummer is geschreven door Billie Joe Armstrong. Het werd wereldwijd bekend en het bereikte in Nederland tweemaal de 33ste positie. In juni 1995 werd het een single. De videoclip is geregisseerd door Mark Kohr, die ook al de clip van Basket Case regisseerde. In het nummer lopen de leden van Green Day door een stad en zien verschillende mensen voorbijkomen met hun eigen dagelijkse activiteiten.

"When I Come Around" is a song by American rock band Green Day. It is the 10th track on their third studio album, Dookie (1994), and was shipped to radio in December 1994 before being physically released as the fourth single from that album in January 1995 by Reprise Records. It was played live as early as 1992.

"When I Come Around" peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, which ties it with "Wake Me Up When September Ends" as their second-highest song on this chart, behind only "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". It also topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for seven weeks, and reached number two on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. Worldwide, it became a top-10 hit in Australia, Canada, Iceland, and New Zealand. Mark Kohr directed the song's music video. As of August 2010, "When I Come Around" has sold 639,000 copies. This makes it the band's second best-selling single of the 1990s, behind their 1997 hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". In late 2023, for the 35th anniversary of Modern Rock Tracks (which by then had been renamed to Alternative Airplay), Billboard ranked the song as the 19th-most successful in the chart's history.
