"Landmines" is a song by Canadian rock band Sum 41, written by Deryck Whibley. It was released as the lead single from the band's eighth and final studio album Heaven :x: Hell on September 27, 2023.

Background

The band announced their eighth studio album, Heaven :x: Hell on March 23, 2022. The album is a double album. [2] [3] [4] [5] Heaven will return to the pop punk sound of the band's early career while Hell leans more towards a heavier metal sound. [2] [3] [4] [5] In May 2023, the band announced that Heaven :x: Hell will be their final album with the band disbanding after they complete a final headlining tour. [6] [7] One week before the song was released, Whibley was hospitalized for COVID-19 [8] and pneumonia, which lead to heart failure. [9] [10] He was discharged from the hospital the next day. [11] The song was released on September 27, 2023, along with a music video. [12] [13] [14] It is the band's first release with Rise Records. [14] [12]

Commercial performance

"Landmines" debuted at number 29 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, their first single to reach the chart since 2011's " Screaming Bloody Murder". On the week of March 9, 2024, it replaced " One More Time" by Blink-182 at the top spot on the Alternative Airplay chart, becoming their second number-one hit single on the chart, following 2001's " Fat Lip". This resulted in Sum 41 setting a record for longest time between number-ones at 22 years, five months, and three weeks. [15]

Composition

Andrew Sacher of Alternative Press called the song a "nostalgia-inducing pop-punk single...[that] sounds straight out of the band’s classic early 2000s...era, with a few modern twists." [12] Whibley stated, "When I wrote 'Landmines' I had no intention of writing an old school 'pop punk' song...It just came out really quickly and I knew right away that this song felt special to me." [12] [13] [14]
