Blink-182 is an American rock band consisting of vocalist and bass guitarist Mark Hoppus, vocalist and guitarist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker. They have sold over 27 million albums worldwide since forming in Poway, California in 1992. With original drummer Scott Raynor they released their debut album Cheshire Cat in 1994 and achieved moderate success with its follow-up, 1997's Dude Ranch, which went on to sell over one million copies. Raynor was replaced by Barker midway through a 1998 tour.
The band achieved greater success with 1999's multi-platinum selling Enema of the State, which reached number 9 on the Billboard 200 on the strength of the singles "What's My Age Again" and "All the Small Things", the latter of which became the highest-charting song of their career by reaching number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Blink-182 gained popularity for their irreverent sense of humor, and the follow-up album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) reached number 1 in the United States, Canada, and Germany. The eponymously-titled Blink-182 followed in 2003 and marked a stylistic shift for the group, infusing experimental elements into their usual pop punk formula resulting in a more mature sound.
DeLonge left Blink-182 in early 2005, sending the band into indefinite hiatus. He went on to form Angels & Airwaves while Hoppus and Barker formed +44. Hoppus also pursued a career as a television host while Barker continued working in music as a producer and solo artist. Blink-182 reunited in February 2009 and their sixth studio album, Neighborhoods, was released in September 2011.
"Down" is the third single from Blink-182's 2003 self-titled album. It was released in June 2004. The song peaked at number ten on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, but quickly fell off and was a mixed success. It is the band's tenth song to reach the top 10 on the chart. It peaked at number 24 on the UK Singles Chart. It has also been released as a downloadable track for the Rock Band video game.According to Tom DeLonge in the liner notes of the album, the song came from a picture he had in his head about a girl and a boy in a car with it raining outside (hence the 'Down, Down, Down, Down' chorus) and how much the boy wants to kiss her and make her stay (another reason many suspect for the chorus). It has also been said that this was an "ode" to Mark's ex-girlfriend, before he met his wife.
An alternate arrangement of the song is available on the "Part 2" single, called the "T.L.A. Arrangement", which was done by the song's mixer Tom Lord-Alge. It is slightly different, featuring an extended ending where Hoppus's vocals are sung over the main chorus instrumental. Also the main guitar riff is panned completely to the left as opposed to it having a small presence at the right on the main version.
"Down" has been played live by DeLonge's band Angels & Airwaves as an intro to their first single "The Adventure".
