La storia dietro
Blink-182 scrisse "Aliens Exist" nel 1999, durante la registrazione del loro terzo album, Enema of the State. La canzone è un brano veloce, con un tempo di 216 battute al minuto, e si basa sulla curiosità di Tom DeLonge riguardo agli alieni e ai UFO. Le parole toccano temi come la CIA, il Majestic 12 e l'idea che esista informazione nascosta sulla vita aliena.DeLonge e Mark Hoppus si alternavano a scrivere la canzone, e a volte lasciavano messaggi sui loro dispositivi audio durante i concerti. DeLonge diceva "aliens exist", e Hoppus rispondeva "no they don't". Il batterista, Travis Barker, non ricevette crediti come autore, ma aiutò a organizzare la struttura della canzone. La canzone rimane parte del loro repertorio, anche dopo che il gruppo si è sciolto.
