The clip has been circulating on social media, and sees the woman performing at a karaoke bar, breaking out a chaotic rendition of a pop-punk classic.

Belting along to the band’s iconic 1999 hit ‘All The Small Things’, the fan was seen leaning back and forth during the impassioned cover, seemingly unaware of those in the audience.

As she started to lie on the floor during one section, the camera panned around to show the band’s co-vocalist and guitarist sitting in the back of the room, watching. In the clip, he is seen nodding along, wearing a backwards-facing cap and bursting into laughter at the end.

In the caption, the TikTok user explained that the woman singing “had no idea the guy who wrote that song was sitting right there” and that she and her friends “lost their minds” when they found out.

She had no idea the guy who wrote that song was sitting right there. I told her and her friends and they lost their minds. blink182 tomdelonge coachella @Tom DeLonge @blink-182

The video has since gone viral, racking up over 2.2million views on TikTok, and getting a huge response from fans.

“The moment, the shirt, the artist. This is the most 2000 video of 2025,” one viewer commented, while another added: “I bet when he wrote this song all those years ago this is exactly how he intended it to be performed”. Check it out above.

Later, the TikTok user went on to share another update, saying that they had worked out who the woman was and had received a photo of her talking to the guitarist after the performance.

Tom DeLonge is far from the first Blink-182 member to make headlines in recent days. Last week bassist Mark Hoppus got fans talking after he shared one particular anecdote in his new memoir Fahrenheit-182.

In an excerpt, the pop-punk pioneer explained how he may have actually helped the US government capture Saddam Hussein back in 2003. This, he said, came when he was talking to a Navy admiral onboard an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, and suggested that military drones could be used to track Hussein’s location.

Other noteworthy anecdotes shared in the book included a recollection of the time when The Cure‘s Robert Smith allegedly once tried to “make out” with him, the impact his parent’s divorce had on him as a child, his battle with cancer, and an “awful” date with Melissa Joan Hart.

As for Travis Barker, the drummer recently confirmed that he would be selling the kit he used on the band’s ‘One More Time’ tour, as well as memorabilia and personal belongings.

Later this year, Blink will head out on a massive US tour with Alkaline Trio. Dubbed the ‘Missionary Impossible’ tour, the shows will begin on August 28 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, and run through September, before finishing at Palm Desert’s Acrisure Arena in California. You can find tickets here.

Their last new music came in the form of the 2023 comeback album ‘One More Time‘, which NME gave three stars. “They aren’t all that far away from who they’ve always been – three friends wanting to make some noise and have a riot of a time doing it.”

“Although they’re not exactly revolutionising pop punk, this was likely never the goal,” it added. “Chances are, the fans just want the old Blink back anyway, and in 2023, they’re just as fun as ever.”
