Recorded throughout 2003, Blink182 marks a departure from the band's earlier work, infusing experimental elements into their usual pop punk sound, inspired by lifestyle changes (the band members all became fathers before the album was released) and side projects. The record features a collaboration with The Cure frontman Robert Smith. Lead singles 'Feeling This' and 'I Miss You' received the most radio airplay of the four singles released and peaked high on Billboard charts.
