"Quarantine" is a song recorded by American rock band Blink-182. The song was released on August 7, 2020, through Columbia Records, and is the first single by the band to only feature bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker. The fast-paced punk number explores boredom during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was written by Hoppus, who sings solo vocals and plays guitar on the track in addition to his usual bass duties. Additional songwriting is credited to Barker and songwriter Brian Lee, both of whom also produced the song. Due to the lack of a home studio, then-guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba did not contribute to the track.
