"TBA" is unenclopedic. I cannot find evidence that this is actually the cover (not surprising, as an actual release of this single hasn't yet been announced, just an airplay date). image source link returns a 404 error.

"Up All Night"
Song

"Up All Night" is a song by the American pop punk band Blink-182. It will be the first single from the band's as-of-yet untitled sixth studio album.

"Up All Night" was the first song Blink-182 wrote and recorded after their reunion in February 2009. The song was planned for release as a single in July 2009, but withheld because the band felt it was not complete. On July 12, 2011, the band announced the song would premiere on July 15. On July 14, Mark Hoppus announced it would premiere later that day.

History

After the reunion at the 2009 Grammy Awards, Blink-182 began production on a new studio album. As the band got back together, drummer Travis Barker said that the trio immediately "got inspired" by practicing their old songs and listening to them again, and they decided to record demos. There were four demos done, and only one was near completion, called "Up All Night".[1] The song was originally titled "The Night the Moon Was Gone", a name DeLonge's daughter, Ava, came up with.[2] Quickly they realized that it was too ambitious to complete it before their reunion tour began in July.[3]

When the band set off for tour, Tom DeLonge described the song as "almost finished." The band raised concerns that the song would debut to some fans as a bootleg-recorded version on sites such as YouTube, and opted to not release it: "It’s not so much that we were concerned that it was going to get played somewhere where we didn’t have control of it," said DeLonge. "We were just concerned that the first impressions weren’t going to be the beautiful hard work that we put into recording the song and the way we recorded it.[4]

Music

Barker, in June 2009, called "Up All Night" a "logical step-forward" from the music found on the band's previous effort, blink-182 (2003). Barker also hinted that when the band was able to get back together and record, that that would be the direction they would take. He called the track "heavy," and added that it sounded like "if you mixed Box Car Racer and Blink."[1][5] "Up All Night" contains elements of everything the band has done,and pushes further than they've gone before, according to Hoppus.[6]

Release

On July 12, 2011, the band announced via Facebook that "Up All Night" would premiere as the first single, on their official website and broadcast by Los Angeles-based radio station KROQ, on July 15.[7][8][9]
