What Went Wrong​​blink-182

Released: June 12, 2001

Songwriter: Travis Barker Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
I'm sick of always hearing
All those sad songs on the radio
All day it is there to remind an over-sensitive guy
That he's lost and alone, yeah
I hate our favorite restaurant
Our favorite movie, our favorite show
We would stay up all through the night
We would laugh and get high, and never answer the phone

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I can't forgive, can't forget
Can't give in, what went wrong?
'Cause you said this was right
You fucked up my life

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
I'm sick of always hearing
Sappy love songs on the radio
This place, it's fucking cursed, and it's plagued
And I can never escape when my heart, it explodes

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I can't forgive, can't forget
Can't give in, what went wrong?
'Cause you said this was right
You fucked up my life

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro: Tom DeLonge]
I'm kicking out fiercely at the world around me, what went wrong
I'm kicking out fiercely at the world around me, what went wrong
I'm kicking out fiercely at the world around me, what went wrong
I'm kicking out fiercely at the world around me, what went wrong
I'm kicking...

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
