"More Than You Know" is a song recorded by American rock band Blink-182. Released on September 21, 2023, through Columbia Records along with the title track for the band's reunion album, One More Time....[1][2] It was written by bassist Mark Hoppus, guitarist Tom DeLonge, drummer Travis Barker and recording engineer Aaron Rubin.

Composition[edit]

Paul Brown of Wall of Sound described the opening of "More Than You Know" as a "sorrowful piano intro", which becomes a "fast-paced punk rock jam".[3] Similarly, Mary Varvaris of Kill Your Stereo described the song as "a fist-pumping pop-punk banger".[4] Jordan Darville of The Fader felt that the song harkened back to the band's 2003 untitled album, describing it as "energized and aggressive",[5] while Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan also noted the similarities to the 2003 album, as well as 2011's Neighborhoods, stating that it contained "the heavier pop punk/post-hardcore fusion that defined [the two albums].[6]

Reception[edit]

Rolling Stone's Jon Blistein wrote that the song "finds Blink cranking up the guitars while maintaining a high level of emotional vulnerability and angst".[7]

"More Than You Know" debuted at number 95 on the UK Official Singles Downloads Chart on 22 September 2023.[8]
