"Not Now" is a song written by Blink-182 during the recording for their Blink-182 album. An article with Rolling Stone in 2003 states Tom was upset that this song didn't make it on the untitled album but the song appears on the UK release of the untitled album and is included on their greatest hits album. It is also the only single released since the announcement of their current hiatus. it was also Blink-182s longest number 1 in the US when it was released as a single for there greatest hits staying in the position for 4 weeks.

The song mainly features Travis Barker's drumming and Tom DeLonge's lyrics and guitar. Mark Hoppus plays a bit less than the others, only playing background bass and background vocals in the end, but he does have a bass solo in the middle of the song. The song opens up with 31 seconds of electronic noises.

This song is about somebody speaking to their loved one as they die. Tom says that in the recording of the Untitled album.
