12 to 12" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sombr. Released on July 24, 2025, through Warner Records and Sombr's own imprint SMB, it was written solely by Sombr, and co-produced by him and Tony Berg.[5] It serves as the fourth single from his debut studio album I Barely Know Her (2025).[6] The song mixes 1980s-style synth-pop and new wave with hints of 1970s funk and blues, highlighted by Sombr's vocals that shift between falsetto and rough growls. It marked Sombr's third entry on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 41, and his third top-ten in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The song also reached the top ten in five other countries. Sombr has performed the song at the Saturday Night Live and the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards where it was nominated for Song of Summer.

verse
I don't want anyone else
From the hours of 12 to 12
I am not the least compelled
By anyone but yourself
Look at me it makes me melt
I know you wanna see me in hell, my love
I'm dealing with the cards I've dealt
While you're dancing with somebody else
pre-chorus
Was it always in your plan to leave eventually
Because to me there's no one else that could make sense to me
The last and final puzzle piece
chorus
In a room full of people I look for you
Would you avoid me or would you look for me too
Tell me is our story through
Or do our hearts still beat in tune
verse
I've never felt anything
Like the love from our final days
Why'd you wait
To show me you could do it this way
I'll never look at you, look at you the same
We met in a Paris cafe
I said, can I sit with you comment ça se fait
My mistake
If I'd known it would have been this way
I'd have never looked at you, looked in the first place
pre-chorus
Was it always in your plan to leave eventually
Because to me there's no one else that could make sense to me
The last and final puzzle piece
chorus
In a room full of people I look for you
Would you avoid me or would you look for me too
Tell me is our story through
Or do our hearts still beat in tune
bridge
Maybe I'm delusional
And the way you act is usual
Maybe in another world
I don't feel so unlovable
chorus
In a room full of people I look for you
Would you avoid me or would you look for me too
Tell me is our story through
Or do our hearts still beat in tune
In a room full of people I look for you
Would you avoid me or would you see me through
Tell me is our story through
Or do our hearts still beat in tune
