"Adam's Song" is a song by the American
rock band Blink-182, released on September 5, 2000 as the third and final
single from the group's third studio album, Enema of the State (1999).
Primarily composed by bassist Mark Hoppus, the song concerns suicide
anddepression. It was inspired by extended periods of touring in support of the
band's previous album, Dude Ranch (1997), during a time in which Hoppus was
single. Internet rumors suggested the song was inspired by a fan's suicide, or
the play Adam's Letter.
Following lighthearted previous singles,
"Adam's Song" represented a change of pace for the band, and was
regarded as one of their first "mature" songs. It received positive
reviews from contemporary music critics, who considered it one of the
highlights of Enema of the State. The song peaked at number two on Billboard 's
Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, and also was a top 20 hit in Canada andGermany.
The song also created controversy when a survivor of the Columbine High School
massacre committed suicide as the song played on repeat.
