Following the releases of “Ruby”, “The Song of The Masochist” and “I Wouldn’t Like You, multi-award-winning musician, writer and performer Tim Minchin today shares “You Grew On Me”, the fourth single from his forthcoming album TimMinchinTimeMachine, out 25 July via BMG.

A masterclass in dark comedy and emotional subtext, “You Grew On Me” is a twisted love song that uses medical metaphors to chart the progression of an all-consuming toxic relationship. At the piano, Minchin compares falling in love to developing a terminal illness describing the other person as a tumour, virus and disease that’s taken over his body and mind. What begins as a seemingly mild connection grows into something he can’t escape, even though it’s destroying him. The song cleverly mixes heartfelt vulnerability with biting satire, ultimately portraying love as both devastating and inescapable. Listen HERE and watch the official music video below.

Tim Minchin said: “I’ve performed this tune in various forms for years, and it has always been one of my faves. It’s sort of discombobulating because it constantly shifts: between funny and heartfelt, between two different time signatures, and between different key centers. This version, with its bonkers choral backing vocals and awesome Jak Housden guitar, is deeply satisfying to me.”

The song adds a new depth to TimMinchinTimeMachine, a curated anthology of previously unreleased material, offering a glimpse into the songwriter Tim was before global acclaim. Across 11 tracks, the album blends clever lyricism, emotional vulnerability, and biting humour to showcase a raw, witty, deeply human side of Minchin’s artistry.

The release follows Minchin’s 2020 debut studio album Apart Together, which The Independent praised as “a tenderly considered pop album that subverts expectations” (★★★★). Pre-order TimMinchinTimeMachine HERE.

Meanwhile, Minchin continues his Songs The World Will Never Hear UK tour, which lands in London tomorrow for a sold-out three-night residency at the Eventim Apollo (4–6 July). The tour then heads to Birmingham, Manchester, Bournemouth, Sheffield, Bath and Nottingham, before returning home to Australia where Minchin will play shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Newcastle, Sydney, Gold Coast and Toowoomba throughout October, November and December 2025. Remaining tickets are on sale now at TimMinchin.com.
