The fourth single from blink-182‘s anticipated new album One More Time… is here. It’s a pop-punk anthem called “Dance With Me,” and it comes with a music video that parodies/pays homage to a few different classic Ramones clips, including their Tomorrow Show interview, the “I Wanna Be Sedated” video, and their live performance style. blink call it a “love letter” to the band. The video was directed by the Malloy Brothers. Watch and listen below.
Previously, blink-182 released the album’s title track (with a video that references their own classic music videos), “More Than You Know,” and “Edging.” One More Time… will be the band’s first album with the classic lineup of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker since 2011’s Neighborhoods.

Earlier this week, Travis also shed some more light on “More Than You Know.” He said that it took influence from both Motorhead and South African DJ/producer Black Coffee, and that it features double bass, which was new for blink. “I’ve never recorded double bass on any songs, and I might not ever do it again in the future but this particular song called for it,” he said. “It made the chorus part of the song feel like Motörhead to me. Long live Lemmy.” Barker also adds, “The bridge section of ‘More Than You Know’ was inspired by Black Coffee. The whole song is sort of disruptive and different in the best ways but still sounds like blink 182.”
Tom is also busy with his upcoming directorial debut, Monsters of California, which he shed more light on in a new interview this week.
The new album comes out Oct. 20 via Columbia. Preorder it on vinyl or CD in the AP Shop.
