Background

A pop-punk song, [2] DeLonge sings of the early, halcyon days of meeting a significant other: "I don’t miss the days before I fell for you." [3] In the song's chorus, DeLonge recalls their initial drunken meeting at a party. [4] [5] The mid-tempo tune [6] opens with a synthesizer riff, [7] played by engineer Kevin Bivona, that interpolates the Cure's 1985 single "Close to Me", earning its frontman Robert Smith a songwriting credit. [8]

Reception

Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone stated that "'Fell in Love' is a bit of jangly alterna-pop, the bright guitars paired with some effervescent synths. Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus share vocal duties, reminiscing about those exciting, slightly stupid moments in an early relationship." [9] Tom Breihan of Stereogum, praised the song's sincerity and catchy quality, while observing DeLonge's famously "strange and singular accent." [7]
