"One More Time" (stylized in all caps) is a song recorded by American rock band Blink-182. The song was released on September 21, 2023, through Columbia Records, as the second single from the band's ninth studio album of the same name. It was written by bassist Mark Hoppus, guitarist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker, who produced the song alongside songwriters Andrew Goldstein and Aldae.

Background

The song focuses on the band's history, and the interpersonal relationships between its members and its many break-ups. DeLonge opens the song and addresses his exits from the band: "Strangers, from strangers into brothers / From brothers into strangers once again."[1] Hoppus answers in his second verse, directly referencing his own battle with cancer, as well as Barker's survival of a deadly 2008 plane crash.[2] A second verse prominently features Hoppus, DeLonge and Barker harmonizing the phrase "I miss you," a potential reference to their 2004 single.[3]

Composition

Sadie Bell of People described the song as an "emotional, pop-punk ballad."[4] The song is based around an acoustic guitar riff, and later incorporates piano.[1]

Music video

The song's music video was directed by Carlos López Estrada,[5] and features the band performing the song on a set that switches between backgrounds from the band's previous music videos—including "All the Small Things", "Adam's Song", "First Date", "Feeling This" and more. It also incorporates other key memories from the group's career,[2] including sets emulating stages at Warped Tour 1999, MTV Spring Break at Daytona Beach from 2000,[6] and the TRL studio.[7] As the song reaches its conclusion, the clip shifts to archival footage of the group from their youth.[8]

Release and reception

The song debuted alongside "More Than You Know",[9] another single from One More Time..., with both issued to digital outlets as a joint single.[3] Rolling Stone's Jon Blistein wrote that the tune "finds Blink indulging in a bit of endearing, well-earned pop-punk nostalgia."[2] NME contributor Liberty Dunworth viewed it as "one of the more heartfelt and reflective tracks of their extensive discography."[10] Dustin Nelson of Entertainment Weekly dubbed it a "fitting" comeback single,[7] while Billboard's Starr Bowenbank viewed it as "heart-wrenching."[6]
