"Timebomb" is a song by Swedish singer and songwriter Tove Lo from her debut studio album, Queen of the Clouds (2014). It was written by Lo, Alexander Kronlund and Klas Åhlund, and produced by Åhlund. Initially a promotional single, the track was later released as the third single from the album on 12 August 2015. It is an electropop and EDM track with piano instrumentation; the lyrics talk about a passionate and fleeting romance that is not meant to last.
"Timebomb" received positive reviews from music critics, with many of them deeming it as one of the best tracks from Queen of the Clouds. However, the track was not commercially successful, only peaking at number four on the Swedish Heatseeker Top 20 chart. A music video for the track was released on 22 June 2015. It depicts Lo performing the track on a beach alongside couples of varied races, ages, and sexual orientations who are fighting and reconciling with each other. The visual received positive reviews and was praised for its LGBTQ themes. The singer performed the track on her Queen of the Clouds Tour in 2015, as well in festivals such as Boston Calling Music Festival and Way Out West.
