"When I Get Old" was the second single the Descendents pulled from Everything Sucks, their 1996 album on Epitaph, and it's a Karl Alvarez and Bill Stevenson co-write. Milo Aukerman sings it, Stephen Egerton plays guitar, Alvarez plays bass and Stevenson drums, and Egerton and Stevenson produced and engineered it themselves, with Jason Livermore lending a hand on engineering and Andy Wallace mixing, Steve Sisco assisting.
The single threw in "Sick-O-Me" from the album plus "Gotta", a flip side that Tony Lombardo, the band's original bassist, wrote and plays on. Dave Robinson directed the video: the band tearing through the song in a house packed with fans, cut with shots of the members out on bicycles and flip-book animation of the band's Milo cartoon acting out what the lyrics are about.
