One More Time (Blink-182 song)

"One More Time" received mainly positive reviews from music critics; many found it touching while others viewed it as overly saccharine.

It became one of the band's biggest modern radio singles in the U.S., where it peaked for a record-setting 20 weeks atop Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart; it also became their first crossover hit since 2004's "I Miss You".

"[4] Hoppus answers in his second verse, directly referencing his own battle with cancer, as well as Barker's survival of a deadly 2008 plane crash.

[5] The song's soft tone and natural instrumentation, as well as refrain of "I miss you" was widely interpreted as a reference to the band's seminal 2004 hit.

It also incorporates other key memories from the group's career,[5] including sets emulating stages at Warped Tour 1999, MTV Spring Break at Daytona Beach from 2000,[12] the TRL studio,[13] and the front cover of their live album The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!).

[6] Rolling Stone's Jon Blistein wrote that the tune "finds Blink indulging in a bit of endearing, well-earned pop-punk nostalgia.

"[20] Dustin Nelson of Entertainment Weekly dubbed it a "fitting" comeback single,[13] while Billboard's Starr Bowenbank viewed it as "heart-wrenching.

"[12] Brian Davids of The Hollywood Reporter joked that the song "makes grown men cry," praising its "impact and emotion".

[1] Bobby Olivier from Spin viewed it as a "ballad successor to 'I Miss You'",[21] while Helen Brown of The Independent found the "funereal" track to be too "soppy".
