La historia detrás
Blink-182 escribió "Aliens Exist" en 1999, durante la grabación de su tercer álbum, Enema of the State. La canción es un tema rápido, con un ritmo de 216 pulsaciones por minuto, y se basa en la curiosidad de Tom DeLonge por los extraterrestres y los ovnis. La letra toca temas como la CIA, el Majestic 12 y la idea de que hay información oculta sobre vida alienígena. DeLonge y Mark Hoppus se turnaban para escribir la canción, y a veces se dejaban mensajes en sus equipos de sonido durante los conciertos. DeLonge decía "aliens exist", y Hoppus respondía "no they don't". El baterista, Travis Barker, no tuvo crédito como compositor, pero sí ayudó a organizar la estructura de la canción. La canción sigue siendo parte de su repertorio, incluso después de que el grupo se separara.
