Rag’n’Bone Man continues a wild year of exciting releases with a powerful new single ‘Time To Love’, created in collaboration with acclaimed producer Danger Mouse. Launched today, the track marks a bold step out for the multi-platinum artist as he continues to evolve his soulful, genre-defying sound.
Built around Danger Mouse’s pinpoint cinematic production and Rag’n’Bone Man’s unmistakable voice, ‘Time To Love’ blends elements of blues, soul and hip-hop and, with an unmistakable groove, lyrically explores the ubiquitous yet pertinent idea of making space for love despite personal or societal reasons to hold back in fear. Listen here.
Rag’n’Bone Man said of the track: ‘Time To Love’ is about taking a moment to let love exist - even in a fast-moving world, but also about opening up to the possibility of finding love after a long time being shut off. Working with Danger Mouse has always been a dream of mine: I love his recognisable stamp and creative approach. Having the opportunity to work with him has allowed me to explore a different side of my sound and still lean into some of my longstanding hip-hop influences. I’m really proud of what we’ve made.”
The ‘Time To Love’ music video, co-directed by Broken Antenna and Tim Nathan and was produced by Knucklehead, playfully features Rag’n’Bone Man venturing on a peculiar push-bike quest to find meaning and love, whilst acknowledging the cruising and grooving beat of the track.

The pair’s collaboration was teased recently when Rag’n’Bone Man featured on Danger Mouse & The Roots’ Black Thought on ‘Up’, and brings together two artists with a shared appreciation for authenticity and emotional depth. Danger Mouse, whose work includes career-defining records with Gnarls Barkley, CeeLo Green, Broken Bells, The Black Keys, and Gorillaz, adds his trademark atmosphere and restraint to Rag’n’Bone Man’s raw, soulful delivery. The result is a track that feels timeless, modern, and rooted in the classic songwriting tradition that has defined both artists.
‘Time To Love’ follows the success of Rag’n’Bone Man’s third studio album What Do You Believe In?, released in October 2024. The record debuted at #2 in the UK album charts, earning widespread critical acclaim for its optimism and emotional honesty. Featuring standout singles ‘What Do You Believe In?’, ‘Rush of Blood’, and ‘Put A Little Hurt On Me’, the album showed a bright and adventurous blend of hip-hop, soul, pop, and gospel influences and confidently explored a new, upbeat side of Rag’n’Bone Man’s story, as well as featuring some of his trademark emotive and reflective moments.
After wrapping a sold-out UK and European tour, with standout performances at BBC Children in Need, The Graham Norton Show and Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Rag’n’Bone Man spent much of 2025 touring internationally, including dates across Australia and Europe.
Since breaking through in 2016 with the global #1 single “Human”, Rag’n’Bone Man has become one of the UK’s most distinctive voices. His debut album Human went 4x Platinum in the UK and topped charts in over 10 countries, earning him three BRIT Awards including British Breakthrough Act and Best Single of the Year. His 2021 follow-up Life By Misadventure debuted at #1 and became the fastest-selling solo album of that year.
With over 8.7 billion global streams and collaborations with artists such as Calvin Harris, P!nk, and Gorillaz, Rag’n’Bone Man continues to be celebrated for his genre-fluid authenticity and emotional depth.
Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) remains one of the most influential producers of the past two decades. From Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy to his Grammy-winning work with The Black Keys and his genre-defying collaborations with Adele, Beck, and A$AP Rocky, his production is synonymous with sophistication, texture and cinematic flair.
With ‘Time To Love’, Rag’n’Bone Man now looks ahead to 2026 and beyond, hinting at a new creative chapter that will further expand his musical world.
