From the album
Enema of the State
blink‐182 · 1999 · Track 3
The story behind
Blink-182 wrote "Aliens Exist" in 1999, during the recording of their third album, Enema of the State. The song is a fast-paced track with a tempo of 216 beats per minute, and is based on Tom DeLonge's curiosity about aliens and UFOs. The lyrics touch on topics such as the CIA, the Majestic 12, and the idea that there is hidden information about alien life.DeLonge and Mark Hoppus took turns writing the song, and sometimes left messages on their sound equipment during concerts. DeLonge would say "aliens exist", and Hoppus would respond "no they don't". The drummer, Travis Barker, did not receive credit as a songwriter, but did help organize the song's structure. The song remains part of their repertoire, even after the band split up.
