Metric has released a new song called "Time Is a Bomb," a track off the band's upcoming album, Romanticize the Dive.

"Say what you want about the wellness boom, I think it's a natural response to the unrelenting awareness we have of our mortality," frontwoman Emily Haines says in a statement. "The powerless feeling of wanting to hold on and make time stop while simultaneously doing everything you can to max out your fleeting vitality - this song expresses that inner tension."

"I love my life and I'm truly amazed that I made it to my happily ever after, but I don't want to spend the time I have left obsessing over personal consequences, being boring and hiding from fun," she continues. "I don't expect to be jumping off speaker stacks or crowd surfing like I used to, but it's still too soon to say never."

Romanticize the Dive, the follow-up to 2023's Formentera II, is due out April 24. It also includes the single "Victim of Luck."

Metric will launch a U.S. tour in June.
