About This Track

“Up All Night” is a song by the American pop punk band Blink-182, the first single from their upcoming sixth studio album “Neighborhoods.”

“Up All Night” was the first song Blink-182 wrote and recorded after their reunion in February 2009. The song was planned for release as a single in July 2009, but withheld because the band felt it was not complete. On July 12, 2011, the band announced the song would premiere on July 15.

History

After the reunion at the 2009 Grammy Awards, Blink-182 began production on a new studio album. As the band got back together, drummer Travis Barker said that the trio immediately “got inspired” by practicing their old songs and listening to them again, and they decided to record demos. There were four demos done, and only one was near completion, called “Up All Night”. The song was originally titled “The Night the Moon Was Gone”, a name DeLonge’s daughter, Ava, came up with. Quickly they realized that it was too ambitious to complete it before their reunion tour began in July.

When the band set off for tour, Tom DeLonge described the song as “almost finished.” The band raised concerns that the song would debut to some fans as a bootleg-recorded version on sites such as YouTube, and opted to not release it: “It’s not so much that we were concerned that it was going to get played somewhere where we didn’t have control of it,” said DeLonge. “We were just concerned that the first impressions weren’t going to be the beautiful hard work that we put into recording the song and the way we recorded it.
