Blink-182 and Zane Lowe. Still from “blink-182: The Zane Lowe Interview” via YouTube.
Blink-182 have shared the sixth and final single from the first album recorded by the group’s best-known lineup — with Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge sharing vocal duties and playing bass and guitar respectively, and Travis Barker on the drums — since 2011’s Neighborhoods. With One More Time due out this Friday, the beloved pop-punk group have wrapped the record’s long pre-release rollout with “You Don’t Know What You’ve Got,” a heartfelt song about how we humans tend to take our lives and friends for granted until it’s too late. Hear it below.
“You Don’t Know What You’ve Got” follows One More Time… offerings “Edging” (October 2022), “One More Time” and “More Than You Know” (September 2023), and this month’s “Dance With Me” and “Fell In Love.” The group discussed the new song — and the forthcoming project at large — in a deep-dive interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, published this afternoon (October 18). According to the group, today’s track deals specifically with what the album as a whole takes on more generally: how it took Mark’s 2021 cancer diagnosis to get the band back together following Tom’s decision to leave in 2014 in order to become a world-renowned UFO expert. (Hoppus announced in 2022 that a recent scan had “come back clean.”)
