“What’s My Age Again?” is a song by American pop punk band Blink-182. It was the first single released from the band’s third album Enema of the State. The song, written by bassist Mark Hoppus, carries a theme about a protagonist who, despite being an adult, still behaves like a prepubescent child.
Released in November 1999, “What’s My Age Again?” became Blink-182’s second hit single, setting a precedent for most of the band’s further career. The song peaked at #2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart as well as #19 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
The album version continues the guitar outro from the previous track, “Going Away to College”, whereas the single version cuts the fadeout and simply opens with the song’s trademark opening notes. The single version appears on the band’s Greatest Hits.
“What’s My Age Again?” was written by bassist Mark Hoppus and guitarist Tom DeLonge, while sung by Hoppus produced by Jerry Finn. The song has pop punk influences, with elements of pop and pop rock thrown in. The song has a driving tempo. “What’s My Age Again?” is two minutes and twenty-eight seconds long. The song is composed in the key of F-sharp major and is set in time signature of common time with a tempo of 80 beats per minute. Hoppus’ vocal range spans from C4 to F5.
Described by Hoppus as “the track that launched [Enema of the State]”, the track originally was titled “Peter Pan Complex” and went through a large amount of changes before it was finally completed. According to Hoppus, a few lines near the end of the song were written the day the final cut of the song was completed: “No one should take themselves so seriously, with many years ahead to fall in line – why would you wish that on me?” The version heard on the demo for Enema of the State, recorded in late 1998, does not have these lines and has a different ending.
