"Josie" (sometimes subtitled "Everything's Gonna Be Fine") is a song by American rock band Blink-182, released on November 17, 1998, as the fourth single from the group's second studio album, Dude Ranch (1997).

[4] Though the song is fictional, it was named after a dog owned by Elyse Rogers,[5][6] vocalist for ska-punk quartet Dance Hall Crashers, whom Hoppus dated in the mid-1990s.

[7] Hoppus namedrops the band, as well as fellow Poway pop-punkers Unwritten Law, in the lyric "My girlfriend likes UL and DHC".

The trio recorded a demo of the song with Warren Fitzgerald of the Vandals; this edition is featured in the 1996 surf film Drifting, directed by filmmaker Taylor Steele.

The song also alludes to Sombrero Mexican Food, a restaurant chain in San Diego, that the trio ate at frequently when recording.

[13] For the group's third music video, the band attempted to take a more serious route and turned to director Jason Matzner and his collaborator Brendan Lambe.

[16] In contrast to the song's point, the video has been interpreted as preoccupied with homosociality: scenes take place in locker rooms, and one male student confuses a paper airplane love note as intended for him.

Maria Sherman of Rolling Stone observed the "sweet" song's comical tone "conceal[s] real poignancy.

"[20] Molly Lambert at MTV described the tune as a summary of "that totally crushed-out teenage feeling [...] That deeply romantic streak is what set Blink-182 apart.

[23] Matt Mitchell of Paste included it among the band's greatest, commenting: "The pedestal he's put his unnamed lover on is problematic in how it idealizes her, but there’s a subtle adoration alive here that still makes the track sing.
