"12 to 12" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sombr. It was released on July 24, 2025, through Warner Records and Sombr's own imprint SMB. The song mixes '80s-style synth-pop and new wave with hints of funk and blues, highlighted by Sombr's vocals that shift between falsetto and rough growls.

"12 to 12" was compared to the work of Tame Impala, embracing the "ripple effect of nostalgia-driven '80s-inspired synth-pop and new wave". The track was described as walking the line between "repurposed funk with fuzzy blues licks" and hints of "bongo hits". Sombr's "shifting" vocals, alternating between a "lustful falsetto" and a "hungry, distorted growl"^[1] throughout the track were said to "ooze suave and mischievousness".^[2] Sombr sings to a love interest, uncertain whether his feelings are being reciprocated. As the song progresses, he begins to question whether pursuing the relationship was worth it, ultimately doubting his own self-worth.^[3]

"12 to 12" is composed in the key of B major with a time signature of ⁴
₄, and has a tempo of 124 beats per minute.^[4]

The accompanying music video, directed by Gus Black, was released on July 24, 2025, and features appearances by American singer Addison Rae.^[5] The video opens with Sombr hosting a late-night show before being invited on as a guest, interviewing himself as the host. The camera then pans to Rae, seated in the audience, who begins to dance in a room that shifts between being empty and crowded. Additional scenes show Sombr floating unconscious in a pool.^[6]
