Musically, the song is led by a distinctive bass line, accompanied past melodic guitar riffs and straightforward rock drums. Its songwriting was slow to develop, with the group unable to complete its lyrics for its placement in the album. At their characterization's suggestion, the trio re-approached the track for inclusion on the live album. Though the ring has never officially confirmed its basis, "Man Overboard" has widely been regarded equally a reference to former drummer Scott Raynor. Raynor—who co-founded Blink-182—had struggled with alcohol dependency in his last years backside the kit, and was dismissed from the ring midway through a 1998 tour.

Raynor and guitarist Tom DeLonge first met in schoolhouse,[two] and after met bassist Mark Hoppus to course Blink-182. In the interim years, the band recorded independent albums and toured frequently, attracting a following at the top of punk rock'due south mainstream popularity.[3] Though the band was growing successful, tensions between DeLonge/Hoppus and Raynor began to grow axiomatic. Raynor frequently spoke of his want to return to school,[4] and disagreed with their decision to sign to major-label MCA.[nb ane] He began to struggle with alcohol abuse, which started to touch his performance alive. Raynor, interviewed by journalist Joe Shooman for an unofficial band biography, admitted that his behavior in this era was "irresponsible [...] I was drinking way likewise much." In ane instance, Raynor bankrupt both of his heels in an episode while inebriated, and was forced to tape the band's major-label debut, Dude Ranch (1997), while on crutches.[6] Somewhen, DeLonge and Hoppus phoned Raynor, issuing an ultimatum that he agree to attend an in-patient rehabilitation facility, or exist removed from the band. Raynor agreed to do so, but was however dismissed from the group. He later conceded to Shooman that the duo were "right to fire him," though it acquired him bully grief at the fourth dimension.[7]
The ring would minimize the impact of the state of affairs in future interviews and as of 2021, still remain vague regarding his departure. Blink-182 resumed with new drummer Travis Barker, formerly of the Aquabats, at the captain. "Human being Overboard"—named for the exclamation made when a passenger falls from a ship—was offset demoed for the band's next album, Enema of the State. Information technology was written by Hoppus, and credited to both he and DeLonge. Barker contributed on drums, though was at this point in their career considered a touring musician and did not receive songwriting credit.[8] Its songwriting process went unfinished, every bit the group had issues with its lyrics and harmonies. Afterwards completing Enema of the State, they simply decided to return to the idea another time. The post-obit year, the band's label, MCA Records, requested they record a new song every bit a bonus track and single to promote their forthcoming live album, The Marking, Tom, and Travis Bear witness (The Enema Strikes Dorsum!). The trio found it natural to re-arroyo "Man Overboard", which was completed in mid-2000 with producer Jerry Finn.[9] It was recorded at Signature Sound in the band'south hometown of San Diego, California, with Sean O'Dwyer serving equally recording engineer.
