Blink-182 fans have been waiting eagerly for new music, and their patience is finally being rewarded. The band’s new album, One More Time..., is set to drop on October 20th, marking an exciting new chapter for the iconic Californian trio. With the return of Tom DeLonge, who rejoined the band after a lengthy hiatus, the album brings a blend of nostalgia, growth, and, of course, the irreverent energy that has defined Blink-182’s sound for decades.
In a recent 4-minute trailer, the band opened up about what this album means to them, reflecting on the tumultuous journey they’ve been through and how those personal experiences have shaped the music. The trailer, which includes interviews with the members, shows a more reflective side of the band as they look back on their legacy. It also offers a glimpse into the creative process behind One More Time..., with behind-the-scenes footage, moments of levity, and a preview of the album’s title track, set for release on digital platforms this Thursday (October 21).
But it’s not just personal hardships like Travis Barker’s tragic plane accident or Mark Hoppus' battle with cancer that inspired this reunion and new record. According to the band, One More Time... was born out of a desire to reconnect with the raw, emotional energy that made them a household name in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. The album is a reflection of both their journey as a band and the personal struggles each member has overcome — a new chapter in their careers that goes beyond mere nostalgia.

For fans eagerly awaiting the new record, Blink-182 has revealed the full tracklist for One More Time..., offering a promising glimpse into the sound and themes explored on the album. Here's a breakdown of the tracklist:
"Anthem Part 3"
A continuation of the band's iconic Anthem series, this track is expected to pack the same punch as its predecessors, giving fans a nostalgic yet fresh feel of Blink-182’s punk-pop roots."Dance With Me"
The title suggests a more upbeat, infectious tune, possibly reflecting the band’s playful side. With a name like this, it could be one of the album’s more energetic and danceable tracks."Fell In Love"
A potential exploration of love and relationships, this track could serve as a reminder of the romantic anthems that made Blink-182 so relatable to fans during their rise to fame."Terrified"
Given the emotional weight of the album’s background, this could be a song that tackles vulnerability, fear, or anxiety. Expect something deeply personal from Mark, Tom, and Travis here."One More Time"
The title track of the album, which has already sparked considerable excitement. The song is expected to be a reflection on the band's journey and the significance of their reunion after years of ups and downs. The title itself suggests a sense of finality, but also a willingness to embrace the future together."More Than You Know"
A title that hints at deeper, introspective themes. This could be an exploration of personal growth or a reflection on the band’s evolving dynamic."Turn This Off!"
Perhaps a more defiant track, possibly channeling the punk influences that originally defined Blink-182. It could be a reaction against negativity or a call to escape from the weight of the world."When We Were Young"
With a title like this, it’s easy to imagine this being a nostalgic song that recalls the days of youth, carefree living, and the wild energy that propelled the band to stardom."Edging"
Blink-182’s last single before announcing the album, “Edging” was a teaser of what fans can expect. The song is brash, irreverent, and fun — classic Blink-182 through and through."You Don’t Know What You’ve Got"
This title hints at feelings of regret or realization, possibly about relationships or personal choices. It could be one of the album’s more introspective moments."Blink Wave"
A unique title that likely represents the band's current resurgence in the scene. “Blink Wave” could be a reference to a new wave of fans or a reinvention of the band’s sound."Bad News"
This could be one of the darker, more serious tracks on the album. Blink has never shied away from addressing heavy topics, so don’t be surprised if “Bad News” digs into deeper emotional struggles."Hurt (Interlude)"
With a title like this, we can expect a somber, reflective piece — maybe even a stripped-back moment that showcases the band’s vulnerability."Turpentine"
A slightly mysterious title, “Turpentine” could be a metaphor for something cleansing or painful. Expect a raw, emotional track here."Fk Face"**
Blink-182’s signature irreverence is back with this track. With a title like that, it’s sure to be a playful, energetic song with all the classic cheekiness fans expect from the band."Other Side"
This could be a song about facing a new chapter in life or coming to terms with the past. With the band’s history of personal trials, “Other Side” could reflect a transformative journey."Childhood"
The album closes with what could be a deeply nostalgic reflection on the band members’ formative years. It’s likely to be a poignant end to the record, encapsulating the themes of growth and reflection that have emerged throughout.
What to Expect from One More Time...
With the return of Tom DeLonge, One More Time... is sure to have that classic Blink-182 chemistry — a blend of high-energy punk rock, emotional depth, and their signature humor.
