Background
"Time-Bomb" was first developed by Pierre Bouvier, Chuck Comeau, and Matt Squire as a song for Simple Plan's 2011 album, Get Your Heart On!. According to Alex Gaskarth, the trio "hit a wall" in the writing process and Squire, with whom Gaskarth was also writing (for Dirty Work), brought Gaskarth in to work on the song, which would ultimately be recorded by his band All Time Low instead. In exchange, Gaskarth featured on the Get Your Heart On! track "Freaking Me Out".

The full audio for the song was made available for streaming on February 25th, 2011.
