Feeling This

"Feeling This"
Song

"Feeling This" is the first single of blink 182's self titled album. The single was released in the month of October of 2003. The single had been released previously as part of the soundtrack for the video game Madden NFL 2004 under the name "Action". True to the evolution of the band, the song is a lot more mature lyrically and musically than many of their previous releases. The end of the song is a melodic duet between the two lead singers, both singing conflicting but harmonising parts.

In an interview with the drummer of blink-182 (Travis Barker) Barker explains the confusion with the actual name of the song "'Action' just sounded kind of dorky to us. Like we would always call it "Feeling This" and then someone at our label, I think, like wrote it as "Action" one time and sent out singles to people. And it was always supposed to be "Feeling This"."

The song was written by having Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge go into separate rooms without talking to each other. When they came out they realized they had both written about sex. When they put it together, the song represents the lustful side of sex on the verses, the passionate side in the bridge and the romantice side in the chorus.
