blink-182 recently shot a music video for their new single “After Midnight.” Mark Hoppus recently discussed the treatment for the music video and the meaning behind the song in general. Read the full article here and quotes from Hoppus below by clicking “Read More”.

We went through probably 30 different treatments for this video, and a lot of them were great, and a lot of them weren’t so great but [director] Isaac [Rentz’s] stuck out as a really cool idea. We wanted it to be something different than just a bunch of people having fun and having a party; we wanted it to be a little darker, a little more troubled, and Isaac’s treatment did that.

The song itself is about troubled love, it’s about damaged people who fall in love and the video takes place in a psychiatric ward, and this guy and this girl escape from their rooms and have a night of romance and passion and fun and wild existence.
