“Timebomb” is a promotional single for Tove Lo’s debut album, Queen of the Clouds. Even though a music video was released for it, it wasn’t pushed out as a radio single.
It’s about falling spontaneously into love and being vaguely aware about how it might not last.
According to the YouTube video’s...
[Verse 1]
You made your way in as I was leavin'
You cut in line just as I was getting my stuff
And I couldn't decide if you were the most annoying human being I'd ever met
Or just the best thing that ever happened
Just the best thing that ever happened
[Verse 2]
You took the key out of the ignition
I could hear the rain on the windows
Right then and there I made up my mind to just go with it
Thinkin', "What's the worst thing that could happen
When the worst thing that could happen could be the best thing ever?"
[Refrain]
We're not forever, you're not the one
We're not forever, you're not the one
We're not forever, you're not the one
You and I could be the best thing ever
[Pre-Chorus]
We're not "happily ever after," we don't got what it takes
And we don't make plans 'cause we're never gonna last
We're not forever, you're not the one
You and I, we're a time—
[Chorus]
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb
We're not forever, you're not the one
You and I, we're a timebomb
[Verse 3]
I shut the door and I don't look back
When something this good comes along
You're better off letting the first time be the last time
But really, what's the worst thing that could happen
When the worst thing that could happen could be the best thing ever?
[Refrain]
We're not forever, you're not the one
We're not forever, you're not the one
We're not forever, you're not the one
You and I could be the best thing ever
[Pre-Chorus]
We're not "happily ever after," we don't got what it takes
And we don't make plans 'cause we're never gonna last
We're not forever, you're not the one
You and I, we're a time—
[Chorus]
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb
We're not forever, you're not the one
You and I, we're a timebomb
[Bridge]
Ooh
We could be the best thing ever
Oh, we could be
We could be the best thing ever
The best thing ever
We could be the best thing ever, ooh
Forever
We could be the best thing ever
Oh, we
We're not forever
Could be
You're not the one
The best
You and I, we're a time—
[Chorus]
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb
We're not forever, you're not the one
You and I, we're a timebomb
Timebomb was written by Klas Åhlund & Alexander Kronlund & Tove Lo.
Timebomb was produced by Klas Åhlund.
In an interview with Untitled Magazine, Tove Lo said this was a very personal song:
It really kind of romanticizes the one-time love or the one-night stand, where it’s like, we’re not forever; you’re not the one, but we could be the best thing ever. Just because of that, you know, when you’re with...
