Who Are the Outside Songwriters on Blink-182’s ‘One More Time’?

Blink-182‘s latest album One More Time… is a little over a week old, and it officially debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. If you look at the songwriting credits, you’ll notice that there are 10 outside writers listed — but who are they?

One More Time… was an especially important release for Blink, as it marked their first album with Tom DeLonge since 2011’s Neighborhoods. Some of the lyrics on the album were also written about Mark Hoppus‘ cancer diagnosis and battle in 2021.

DeLonge and Travis Barker shared songwriting credits on each track in addition to Hoppus, but there were some writers outside the band that contributed to the album as well. We listed each of the songwriters below, which track(s) they’re credited on and what other projects they’re known for.
