The third track off of California shows the narrator’s admiration for a woman who might not be 100% normal, saying she wears dark clothes and listens to gothic music. But, she’s still an angel to him!
Here’s what California producer John Feldmann had to say about the song:
Skiba came up with the “...
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I said, "Settle down, settle down, everything is fine
Take your eyes off the floor"
She said, "No, I'm not, no, I'm not, no, I'm not alright
I lost my head on the door"
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
She's a-a-a-antisocial, a-a-a-antisocial
A-a-and she's an angel, yeah
[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind
She said "Babe, I'm sorry, but I'm crazy tonight"
She got a black shirt, black skirt, and Bauhaus stuck in her head
I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind, oh yeah
[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
We all need something to live for, oh yeah
We all need something to live for
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
She said, "I let her down, let her down, I no longer dream
Of anything anymore"
Said I'm a know-it-all, know-it-all, "You make me want to scream"
And threw herself on the floor
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
She's a-a-a-antisocial, a-a-a-antisocial
A-a-a she's an angel, yeah
[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind
She said "Babe, I'm sorry, but I'm crazy tonight"
She got a black shirt, black skirt, and Bauhaus stuck in her head
I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
She's not complicated, can't be overstated at all
She's not complicated-ated-ated at all
[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind
(She's out of her mind)
She said "Babe, I'm sorry but I'm crazy tonight"
She got a black shirt, black skirt, and Bauhaus stuck in her head
I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind, oh yeah
[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
We all need something to live for, oh yeah
We all need something to live for

In a track by track breakdown recorded for NME, bassist Mark Hoppus said:
‘She’s Out Her Mind’ is one of the most deceptively simple songs on the record. When you listen to it, it’s just very immediate, it’s very catchy, it’s very poppy. It’s probably the song that we worked on the most, because we...
Yes!
The video was shot 3 months after the release of the track as a tribute to the iconic “What’s My Age Again” music video. Directed by Nicholas Lam, the concept of the video was Barker’s idea, who talked about it in an interview with iHeart Radio:
I just had an idea that we weren’t in the video...
Travis told billboard when talking about Nine and looking back upon this album
Where I look back at California, you could compare “Cynical” to other fast songs we’ve done. I could put “She’s Out of Her Mind” down as a brother-sister record to “Rock Show” or “First Date.”
