“Feeling This” was the first single released from Blink-182’s self-titled album from 2003. The track was the first thing to show the pop-punk group’s new serious direction the three members decided to pursue, instead of being seen as those toilet-humour rascals who ran around naked in their music videos.
The track is about being in love and the endless feelings and possibilities that arise when in the situation. Tom and Mark have a call and response thing going on in the verses and their vocals come together through the majority of the track with the two having a duet as the song reaches its ending, making it one of the more collaborative songs on the album.
It’s a great way to start things off – placed anywhere else on the tracklist it wouldn’t have the same effect and would probably be considered as filler – and it provides that sweet energy that a listener wants when hearing an album for the first time.
