"Home Is Such a Lonely Place" is a ballad recorded by American rock band Blink-182 for the group's seventh studio album, California (2016). The song was released as the third and final single from California on April 18, 2017, and the band's last to be released through BMG. Lyrically, the song revolves around the idea of letting go of loved ones. Bassist Mark Hoppus and producer John Feldmann first began developing the song while discussing their families, and how tough it might be when their children grow up and leave home. The song was written by Hoppus, Feldmann, drummer Travis Barker, guitarist Matt Skiba, and songwriter David Hodges.
The song has peaked at number 32 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. Its music video shows the band members relaxing with family and friends before heading out on tour.
Despite the fact that it was released as a single, the song was not performed live by the band on California's supporting tour. However, the band eventually played it on their Kings of the Weekend residency shows in Las Vegas.
