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.

Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh, uh
Uh uh, I'm all bikini porn
Uh uh, laying out in the sun
Oh, I got those marks on my body
You ooh, you're looking pale as fuck
You ooh, like you're all out of luck
Oh, you got those sad eyes for money
Runnin' 'round in your boring bubble
Scared to pop it, you think I'm trouble, nah nah nah
Time to time, I know you'll be dreaming, nah nah nah
What would life be if I just go with her?
All I do is drink champagne all day, all day, all day
And I dance around my room naked, oh yeah, naked
Skinny dippin' in the pool with me, with me, with me
Take a day out from your life all day, one day, today
Uh, uh, I'm all bikini porn
Uh, uh, now my bikini's gone
Oh, I got you dangled around me
You ooh, you quit your office job
You ooh, half naked, take it off
Oh, you rollin' free with no worries
Runnin' 'round in your boring bubble
Scared to pop it, you think I'm trouble, nah nah nah
Time to time, I know you'll be dreaming, nah nah nah
What would life be if I just go with her?
All I do is drink champagne all day, all day, all day
And I dance around my room naked, oh yeah, naked
Skinny dippin' in the pool with me, with me, with me
Take a day out from your life all day, one day, today
(Uh, uh) I don't pick up when the phone calls
(Uh, uh) I got glitter in my eyeballs
(I got you dangled around me)
(You ooh) You don't need another minute
(You ooh) Hit the skin and now you're in it
(You rollin' free with no worries)
All I do is drink champagne all day, all day, all day
And I dance around my room naked, oh yeah, naked
Skinny dippin' in the pool with me, with me, with me
Take a day out from your life all day, one day, today
In Tove Lo's song "Bikini Porn," she seems to be reveling in her freedom and carefree lifestyle, which stands in contrast to the "boring bubble" of the person she's addressing in the song. She's all "bikini porn," laying out in the sun with marks on her body and feeling confident and attractive. In contrast, the other person is looking "pale as fuck" and has "sad eyes for money." Tove Lo is urging this person to break out of their bubble and join her in her life of champagne-drinking, naked dancing, and skinny dipping.
The song seems to be about the desire for freedom and a rejection of societal expectations. Tove Lo's lifestyle may not be approved of by everyone, but she's reveling in it and inviting the listener to join her. It's also interesting to note the use of the term "bikini porn," which feels like a commentary on the way women's bodies are objectified in the media. Instead of feeling ashamed or objectified, Tove Lo is taking that term and using it to describe her own confidence and power.
