Fell in Love explained
"Fell in Love" is a song recorded by American rock band Blink-182. The song was released on October 13, 2023, through Columbia Records as the fifth single from their ninth album One More Time.... It was written by bassist Mark Hoppus, guitarist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker, alongside engineer Aaron Rubin and songwriters Ryan Tedder and Nick Long.[1]
Background
A pop-punk song,[2] DeLonge sings of the early, halcyon days of meeting a significant other: "I don’t miss the days before I fell for you."[3] In the song's chorus, DeLonge recalls their initial drunken meeting at a party.[4] [5] The mid-tempo tune[6] contains opens with a synthesizer riff, played by engineer Kevin Bivona, that interpolates the Cure's 1985 single "Close to Me", earning its frontman Robert Smith a songwriting credit.[7]
Reception
Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone stated that "'Fell in Love' is a bit of jangly alterna-pop, the bright guitars paired with some effervescent synths. Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus share vocal duties, reminiscing about those exciting, slightly stupid moments in an early relationship."[8] Tom Breihan of Stereogum, praised the song's sincerity and catchy quality, while observing DeLonge's famously "strange and singular accent."[9]
