"Feeling This" is the first single from Blink-182's Blink-182 album. The single was released in November 2003. A slightly different version of the song had been released previously as part of the soundtrack for the video game Madden NFL 2004 under the erroneous title "Action". True to the evolution of the band, the song is seen as more mature lyrically and musically than many of their previous releases. The end of the song is a melodic duet between the band's two vocalists, both singing conflicting but harmonising parts. The intro phrase 'get ready for action' is taken from the Captain America film of the 1990s. Image File history File links Blink-182_-_feeling_this. ...

In an interview, Blink's drummer Travis Barker explains the confusion with the actual name of the song. "'Action' just sounded kind of dorky to us. Like we would always call it "Feeling This" and then someone at our label, I think, like wrote it as "Action" one time and sent out singles to people. And it was always supposed to be "Feeling This."^[1] Travis Landon Barker (born November 14, 1975) is an American drummer, who achieved most of his fame by drumming for the band, blink-182. ...

The song was written by having Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge go into separate rooms without talking to each other. When they came out they realized they had both written about sex.

Music video

The so-requested, satirical and suggestive music video shows incarcerated, uniformed teens breaking out of some sort of juvenile hall, trashing the place while they're at it, and going to the recreation area to watch Blink-182 play the song inside a cage. Two teens are focused upon in the beginning as they undress to their underwear and make out - with an isolation window between them. During the video the boy is seen to lip the words "I love you". The video's imagery and themes of youthful rebellion against mean, uncompromising authority figures heavily evoke Pink Floyd's hit song "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2". The video was directed by David LaChapelle. Pink Floyd are an English rock band that initially earned recognition for their psychedelic rock music, and, as they evolved, for their progressive rock music. ...
