Background
A pop-punk song,[2] DeLonge sings of the early, halcyon days of meeting a significant other: "I don’t miss the days before I fell for you."[3] In the song's chorus, DeLonge recalls their initial drunken meeting at a party.[4][5] The mid-tempo tune[6] opens with a synthesizer riff,[7] played by engineer Kevin Bivona, that interpolates the Cure's 1985 single "Close to Me", earning its frontman Robert Smith a songwriting credit.[8]

Reception
Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone stated that "'Fell in Love' is a bit of jangly alterna-pop, the bright guitars paired with some effervescent synths. Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus share vocal duties, reminiscing about those exciting, slightly stupid moments in an early relationship."[9] Tom Breihan of Stereogum, praised the song's sincerity and catchy quality, while observing DeLonge's famously "strange and singular accent."[7]
