The song is the opening track on the album and was released as its [[lead single]] on October 6, 2003, through [[Geffen Records]]. It was written by guitarist [[Tom DeLonge]], bassist [[Mark Hoppus]], and drummer [[Travis Barker]], and was produced and [[Audio mixing (recorded music)|mixed]] by [[Jerry Finn]]. The song originated on the first day of producing the album. Its lyrics are purely sexual in nature; the band juxtaposes lust and passion between verses and choruses, thematically connected with a wistful, regretful tone. The song features a [[Latin music|Latin]]-inspired backbeat in the chorus, and the song ends in a melodic, harmonized [[duet]] split between DeLonge and Hoppus. Elements of the song were inspired by rock groups [[Led Zeppelin]] and [[the Beach Boys]]. The song's [[music video]], photographed by [[David LaChapelle]], depicts a [[dystopian]] [[correctional facility]] that is overtaken by its inmates. An early version of the song, erroneously titled "Action", was released on the soundtrack for the video game ''[[Madden NFL 2004]]''. "Feeling This" received critical acclaim and peaked at number two on ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]''{{'s}} [[Modern Rock Tracks]] chart in late 2003. It was also a top-20 hit in the United Kingdom and Australia. The digital single was certified gold by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] in 2005. Blink-182 has performed "Feeling This" in a number of live appearances, including on ''[[Jimmy Kimmel Live!]]''.
