Nine is the eighth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on September 20, 2019, through Columbia Records, as the band's first album on the label. The band began developing the album after fulfilling touring obligations for their previous release, California (2016). While Nine builds upon their collaboration with producer John Feldmann, who also produced California, it also utilizes additional outside producers and songwriters including Captain Cuts, the Futuristics, and Tim Pagnotta. Nine is the band's second and final album to feature both Feldmann and guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba.
Much of Nine was co-written and produced by John Feldmann.
Lyrical content on Nine stemmed from Mark Hoppus' (seen here in 2019) struggle with depression.
Nine is the second and final album to feature guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba.
