A história por trás
Blink-182 escreveu "Aliens Exist" em 1999, durante a gravação do seu terceiro álbum, Enema of the State. A música é uma música rápida, com um ritmo de 216 batidas por minuto, e baseia-se na curiosidade de Tom DeLonge sobre extraterrestres e ovnis. As letras abordam temas como a CIA, o Majestic 12 e a ideia de que há informações ocultas sobre vida alienígena.DeLonge e Mark Hoppus alternavam para escrever a música, e às vezes deixavam mensagens nos seus equipamentos de som durante os concertos. DeLonge dizia "aliens exist", e Hopp, respondia "no they don't". O baterista, Travis Barker, não recebeu crédito como compositor, mas ajudou a organizar a estrutura da música. A música continua sendo parte do seu repertório, mesmo após a banda se separar.
