"Spontaneous Combustion" is a single from Romo. The single was released October 13, 2014, marking Romo's 15th single release and first in almost exactly three years.

Background[edit | edit source]

"Spontaneous Combustion" was written in 2012 with the intention of being included on a greatest hits compilation that would mark the end of Romo's career, but neither release came to fruition, nor did Romo's plans to issue a fifth studio album that same year. Romo recorded the song in secret in 2013 to avoid tabloids from speculating on her plans to return, waiting until late September 2014 to announce her comeback.

Musically and lyrically, the song returns Romo to the fast paced and hard hitting electro sound of her breakthrough pop single "Schizo Pop".

"Spontaneous Combustion" was intended to be part of a third album in the POPSTAR saga, which went unreleased after recordings of the masters were lost in a hard drive crash.

Chart performance[edit | edit source]

"Spontaneous Combustion" was one of 2014's biggest flops for a major artist, peaking at #10 and failing to sell above the 100,000 mark. It remains Romo's lowest charting and selling single to date.
