One More Time...

One More Time... is the ninth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on October 20, 2023, through Columbia Records. The album marks the return of guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge following his departure from the band in 2015. DeLonge was prompted to return after bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2021. Following a meeting between DeLonge and his former bandmates, the trio overcame lingering disputes, which later led to DeLonge's return. Recorded over a span of seven months, One More Time... lyrically explores familiar territory like relationships and maturation, as well as lyrics inspired by the band's own history and Hoppus' battle with cancer. Barker handled the production, largely tracked at his Woodland Hills compound in the band's home state California. The album's digital artwork consists of black-and-white portraits of the trio while physical editions were printed with the band's signature smiley logo, drawn by famed graffiti artist Eric Haze. One More Time... became the band's third number-one album on the Billboard 200 in the U.S., and reached the top five in a dozen other countries. Of its six pre-release singles, both "Edging" and the title track were top hits on the Alternative Airplay charts domestically. The album itself has generated songs with the highest total number of weeks spent at number one on said chart, with thirty-three weeks total. It received largely favorable responses from music critics, with most celebrating the band's back-to-basics approach. Blink-182 have promoted the album with their supporting tour and the top-grossing World Tour. A deluxe version of the album, titled One More Time... Part-2, was released on September 6, 2024.
