She’s Out of Her Mind

She’s Out of Her Mind

​​blink-182

The third track off of California shows the narrator’s admiration for a woman who might not be 100% normal, saying she wears dark clothes and listens to gothic music. But, she’s still an angel to him!

Here’s what California producer John Feldmann had to say about the song:

Skiba came up with the “Bauhaus” lyric and we were talking about that…How many Blink fans are going to even know who Bauhaus is? At the end we decided “Who gives a fuck?” and did what we want. It’s a fun line! It was song originally called “Orange County Girl.” Mark’s wife is from Orange County. We wanted to write a classic, no-brainer pop-punk song: major key, fun, happy, classic. We wrote that one pretty early on. It kind of got shelved because it felt too happy compared to the rest of the record.

Travis really drove a couple of these songs home. He came back to this one and said, “Dude, we cannot leave this song off the record. It’s too important for the Take Off Your Pants & Jacket-era of Blink.” There’s no drama. There’s no heaviness to it. It’s about this girl who is a little bit out of her mind but we love her.
