"Edging" was the sound of Tom DeLonge walking back through the door. Released as a standalone single on Columbia in October 2022, it was blink-182's first release since his return after seven years away, and it later landed on their ninth album, One More Time... in 2023. DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker wrote it with Dan Book and Nick Long, Barker produced, and Serban Ghenea mixed it.
It's mid-tempo pop-punk with the edges buffed for the present day, and it topped rock charts across North America and the UK. Most critics cheered the return of the old energy and tongue-in-cheek humor, even if a few heard more nostalgia than invention. The video drops the band into a surreal, run-down carnival crawling with people in bunny costumes, and it earned a Best Alternative Video nomination at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.
