One More Time... ditulis terutama tentang band yang merefleksikan sejarah terkini mereka. Dengan total 17 lagu, album ini merupakan album studio Blink-182 yang paling banyak jumlahnya. Album ini diproduseri oleh drummer Travis Barker.

One More Time... telah dipromosikan oleh enam single;"Edging", "One More Time", "More Than You Know", "Dance with Me", "Fell in Love", and "You Don't Know What You've Got".

Writing and recording

Recording for the album began in 2022, with most of it being recorded in Barker's personal studio. Much of the early recording was kept secret from the public, as it still hadn't been announced that DeLonge returned to the band. Early recording was also stinted by Hoppus' cancer recovery, as chemotherapy had severely damaged both his body and vocal chords.[2]

One More Time... also marks their first album to be entirely produced by Barker. Prior to the album, he had begun to build a career as a producer with a few of the band's previous songs. Additionally, he began to produce for newer pop punk artists, most notably for Machine Gun Kelly's Tickets to My Downfall.[3] For One More Time..., Barker found himself "taking myself out of being in the band, and being a fan" in a way to help build the songs the way he wanted them to sound. It also wasn't uncommon for Barker to think about their old producer, Jerry Finn, and think what he would do if he was producing the album.[2]

Lyrically, the album focuses on the growth of the members and the band as a whole, while still including the band's brand of humor. The title track focuses on why tragedies like Barker's plane crash and Hoppus' cancer battle are the things that have to bring them back together.[4] At the same time, songs such as "Dance With Me" and "Edging" include crude jokes that the band became well-known for.[5][6] "Terrified" was originally written by DeLonge in 2002 for his and Barker's side-project, Box Car Racer. DeLonge originally discussed the song in a 2021 interview, and that it was planned to be released as a Box Car Racer song. However, after discussing it with Barker, they ultimately decided they wanted it to come out on as a Blink-182 song.[7][2]

Release

The album's promotional cycle began with the announcement of the band's next world tour, as well as their reunion with DeLonge. News of his return had swirled in fan communities for months,[8] but was officially announced on October 11, 2022 alongside the news that a new album was in the works. Later that week, the album's first single, "Edging", was also released, and pre-order sales for vinyl variants of the album also went up, though the LP lacked a title or release date.[9] "Edging" performed well in the US; it became their longest-running number one hit on Billboard's Alternative Airplay, and the band's highest-charting single on the all-genre Hot 100 in eighteen years.[10] Its music video also was nominated for Best Alternative Video at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.[11]

Due to the nature of DeLonge's return, the LP was considered to be greatly anticipated.[12][13] In September 2023, posters emblazoned with the album's title and the band's logo were plastered on walls in major cities across different countries, including New York City, Toronto, Chicago, Sydney, Berlin, and more.[14] The group's official site was updated with a "stall" page—a visual of a graffiti-tagged bathroom, with a digital clock icon counting down to the release of the album's second single.[15]

On September 18, 2023, the album's name was officially announced with a release date of October 20, 2023.[16] Later that week, the album's title track and "More Than You Know" released on September 21, 2023.[17] A fourth single, "Dance with Me", was released on October 5, 2023.[18] The fifth single, titled "Fell in Love", was released on October 13, 2023,[19] followed by the sixth single, "You Don't Know What You've Got", which was released on October 18, 2023.[19]

The album received mostly positive reviews upon its release. Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, scored the album at 73 out of 100, indicating "favorable reviews" based on eleven reviews.[31]

Rolling Stone reviewer Maya Georgi gave the album high marks, observing, "As always, Blink-182 are at their best when they are channeling punk-rock energy and wailing tongue-in-cheek couplets against choppy guitars and Barker’s driving rhythms."[29] Kate Solomon from The Guardian felt that "despite the nods to mortality, Blink have not lost their knack for crafting thumping choruses,"[24] while Spin's Bobby Olivier felt the "explosive" album delivered: "this reconciliation feels fresh, fun [...] it's still the band’s best work in 20 years."[32]

In a mixed review, Stereogum's Pranav Trewn said "As an argument for the alchemic properties of this lineup configuration, the band really sounds like they have something to prove [...] but there are dull moments to be sure, enough that in aggregate those flashes of excitement quickly begin to fade from memory."[33] NME reviewer Emma Wiles found the album "a full circle moment [...] the issue is, however, that it’s perhaps lacking in variety."[28] Helen Brown of The Independent dismissed it as "hardly revelatory,"[25] while GQ writer Yang-Yi Goh found the tunes "glossy, efficient, and largely anodyne [...] most of the songs have had their rough edges sanded down too smooth, and feel more aimed at back-to-basics nostalgia than hard-earned progress."[34]
