"What's My Age Again?" is one of Blink-182's most famous hits. It was their breakthrough song in Australia and the United Kingdom, and reached the top 20 in 1999. It reached the top 10 in the charts when it was re-released in 2000, following the release of "All the Small Things". The song is featured on the MCA Records release Enema of the State.
Mark Hoppus said of the title, "The song originally was called "Peter Pan Complex" (see Peter Pan syndrome) but the label didn’t want us to call it that because they thought people wouldn’t get it. It was one of those things that, later, we got pissed about because we felt we should have left it called that." [1]

The music video (released in 1999) was directed by Marcos Siega and Brandon PeQueen and involves the band running through the streets naked, an act later parodied in the band's 2000 single, Man Overboard; they run through television shows, do some dances, and attract a lot of attention. The band members were in fact, wearing thongs for the outdoor scenes, but were naked for the indoor scenes. It was comically censored throughout the video (The Fox sitcom, That '70s Show uses the same technique in some scenes), except at the end of the video, in which it was shown uncensored. Porn star Janine Lindemulder is featured in the video. She also appears on the front cover of Enema of the State.
