Nine is the eighth studio album by American rock band Blink-182 released on September 20, 2019 through Columbia Records as the band's first album on the label. The band began developing the album after fulfilling touring obligations for their previous release California (2016). While producer John Feldmann returned from the previous album, Nine also utilizes additional outside producers and songwriters including Captain Cuts, the Futuristics, and Tim Pagnotta. It is the band's second and final album to feature guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba, before the return of founding member Tom DeLonge in 2022.
Although Nine is sequentially Blink-182's eighth studio album, Hoppus and Barker consider it their ninth by retroactively counting the band's 1994 demo, Buddha, as their first. Hoppus also cited the significance of the number 9 as "the number of universal love, and the number of Uranus." The color wash album cover was painted by graffiti artist RISK. Much of the album's lyricism is dark in nature and was informed by world events, as well as Hoppus' battle with depression. Musically, the album augments the band's pop-punk sound with hip hop-inspired programming as well as electronics. For Nine, the trio moved from independent service BMG to major label Columbia
