"Bikini Porn" is a song recorded by Swedish singer Tove Lo, who co-wrote it with Finneas, Jakob Hazell, Ludvig Söderberg and Svante Halldin. It was produced by Finneas, Jack & Coke and A Strut, who also handled the programming. Universal Music AB released "Bikini Porn" as a single on 15 January 2020 for download and on streaming services, and later included it on Lo's reissue album Sunshine Kitty: Paw Prints Edition, in May 2020. The single also featured the ballad "Passion and Pain Taste the Same When I'm Weak", written by Lo and Finneas.
"Bikini Porn" is a pop song that is orchestrated by tropical instruments. According to Lo, the track's title refers to tan lines and its lyrics are about letting go of one's worries. It received positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its sexual lyrics and upbeat composition. "Bikini Porn" peaked at number 79 in Sweden and number 35 on the Hot 40 Singles Chart in New Zealand.
Moni Haworth directed the music video for "Bikini Porn" in Hesperia and Victorville, California, which was released on 17 January 2020. Edited in a lo-fi and VHS style, it depicts Lo wearing different bikinis while dancing in several locations, such as a desert, a gym and the back of a trailer. Some critics praised the plot of the clip for matching with the lyrics of the song, and others deemed Finneas' cameo as an Uber driver to be a highlight. Lo performed "Bikini Porn" during her Sunshine Kitty Tour in 2020.
