The song was recorded and mixed at Destined Studio's in London, England by Schwartz. In early announcements, fans alike had thought it was the song which was written by American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson, however this was proven not to be. An uptempo dance song which features strong elements of house and synthpop, the song features instrumentation of guitars, synthesizer and keyboards. Lyrically, the songs subject talks about Minogue telling people to dance before a sudden "timebomb" goes off, hence the title of the song.
"Timebomb" received critical acclaim from most music critics, who praised Minogue for getting back to her signature dance music. Critics also praised composition and hook and noting it as one of Minogue's best, and was even listed by PopCrush the "Best Dance Song of 2012". The song has achieved moderate chart success in Europe and Australasia, charting within the Top forty in Australia, Spain, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and the United Kingdom. It sold 10,044 copies in its first two days in the United Kingdom. It became Minogue's first number one on the ARIA Dance Chart. Despite modest success in those regions, the song was eventually released in North America, and received quite better peaking success, reaching the number-one spot on the US Hot Dance Club Songs, as well as appearing on the Canadian chart.
Directed and edited by Christian Larson, the accompanying music video for the single was shot in Soho, London. The video shows Minogue dancing in a white room, as well as walking and driving through the streets of London. At the end, it shows Minogue dancing and eventually driving away with a biker. The video also received positive reviews from critics, who noted Minogue's re-invention of her previous singles "Spinning Around" (2000) and "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (2001), as well as praising her fashion imagery. Minogue performed the song on The Voice UK series 1 semi-final.

Timebomb
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Fast, time is ticking oh so fast
The sound is running quick right through our hands
Beat, feel the rhythm in my heartbeat
Why don't you move your body to my body
Before we disappear
Tell me now, woo
Do you wanna, wanna, wanna, woo
I wanna, wanna dance like it was the last dance of my life
I wanna woo, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, woo
Do you wanna, wanna dance, like it was the last dance
Wait, no, please don't make me wait
When walls are shaking, ground feels like a mind break
It's not the end of the world
It's just the start of me and you, yeah
So let's just take the moment
Boy let's move
Tell me now, woo
Do you wanna, wanna, wanna, woo
I wanna, wanna dance like it was the last dance of my life
I wanna woo, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, woo
Do you wanna, wanna dance, like it was the last dance
We're on a timebomb, you might not last long
So let's just do it right now, do it come on
We're on a timebomb, before the night's gone
Let's just do it right now, do it come on
Wait, please don't make me wait
Wait, please don't make me wait
Tell me now, woo
Do you wanna, wanna, wanna, woo
I wanna, wanna dance like it was the last dance of my life
I wanna woo, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, woo
Do you wanna, wanna dance, like it was the last dance
We're on a timebomb, you might not last long
So let's just do it right now, do it come on
We're on a timebomb, before the night's gone
Let's just do it right now, do it come on

Perfect song for getting away from this quarantine!
Fast, time is ticking oh so fast
The sound is running quick right through our hands
Beat, feel the rhythm in my heartbeat
Why don't you move your body to my body
Before we disappear
Tell me now, woo
Do you wanna, wanna, wanna, woo
I wanna, wanna dance like it was the last dance of my life
I wanna woo, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, woo
Do you wanna, wanna dance, like it was the last dance
Wait, no, please don't make me wait
When walls are shaking, ground feels like a mind break
It's not the end of the world

TIMEBOMB has become a Kylie classic even without being a massive chart success at the time lol.. it is unique in that it's a one off single.. marking 25 years in music in 2012 and isn't on any album! it NEEDS to be on a future Greatest hits album!!
Hugo Shaw
I don't know the reason she didn't make a whole album with songs like that
LadyJC Muses

Answered prayers: it just took its right place on the Step Back In Time Collection. 😉
