"Time Is Up" is a song by American singer Poppy featuring American DJ and producer Diplo, released on August 22, 2018, as the second single from Poppy's second studio album Am I a Girl?.[4]

It is an electropop song about the end of humans and the rise of robots. The cover art features Poppy with electrode patches on her head, which is also a recurring scene in the music video.[1] The music video was released along with the song.[5]

Reception

Idolator's Mike Wass called the song an "apocalyptic electropop anthem about the end of the human race",[2] and noted Poppy's robotic vocal delivery as well as the song's "ominous" chorus.[2] Steph Evans of Dancing Astronaut said the song is "infectious modern pop underlined by Diplo's production".[6]

Promotion

Poppy teased her collaboration with Diplo on social media in August, posting an image of her with the electrode patches on her temples from the music video.[1] She first performed the song on television in September 2018 in an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden.[7]

Music video

The music video was directed by Titanic Sinclair and released in August 2018, and features Poppy giving a pill to various human test subjects.[8] It depicts a retelling of Poppy's rise to fame in a futuristic dystopian world.[6] Idolator called the video "suitably chilling" to match the song.[2] It has received over five million views on YouTube since its release.[7]
