Island RecordsBlink-182‘s Travis Barker has teamed up with Demi Lovato is bringing us back to the early 2000s by giving her latest single, “I Love Me,” an emo/pop-punk remix.
The formerly pop/R&B hybrid song trades its upbeat tempo to channel musical licks reminiscent of Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar We’re Going Down” and Paramore‘s “Misery Business.”
Not only that, the remix catapulted fans straight back to the Myspace era by centering the lyric video around the once popular social media website, showing off what Barker and Lovato’s respective Myspace pages would have looked like back in the day.
While the 27-year-old pop star’s page is is decorated with cutesy pink skulls, butterflies and animated glitter, Barker’s pays homage to Halloween with animated bats, skulls and orange writing against a black backdrop.
The lyric video also brings back the nostalgia of sending direct messages on Myspace as the lyrics are typed out across the scene.
Barker has previously collaborated with Kanye West, Avril Lavigne, Pink, The Black Eyed Peas, Lil Wayne, Britney Spears, Lil Peep, Eminem, Halsey and Rihanna. He also played drums during Post Malone‘s Nirvana tribute stream.
Blink-182’s most recent album, Nine, was released last September.
