"Always" is the fourth single from Blink-182's 2003 Blink-182 album. It was released in December 2004. The song, clocking in at 4:12, is Blink-182's longest single. "All of This", times at 4:40, would have beaten this record, had Blink-182 not gone on hiatus and actually released the track. Like much of the album, the song shows the band's 1980s influences, with the multiple-layered, heavily effected guitars and new-wave synthesizers.

The music video for the song features Australian pop singer Sophie Monk. The film clip has the screen divided into 3 sections, reminiscent of Weezer's 1997 video for The Good Life, with each band member taking a level as they try to win over the girl (and at the end it looks like she falls for Travis Barker). The video was directed by Joseph Kahn.

The end of the song has 4 different bass guitars playing at once.

This was the last single the band released before taking an "indefinite hiatus." It didn't fare well on the radio, only peaking at #39 on the Billboard Modern Rock Charts, though it received extensive play on music video channels such as FUSE and MTV.
