Parachute (Timomatic song)

"Parachute" was written by Teddy Sky, Johnny Powers, Ameerah Roelants and Jimmy Thornfeldt. Timomatic recorded the single in Los Angeles with producer Johnny Powers.[2] Timomatic and Powers had penned two tracks together before Powers, part of super producer RedOne's team of hitmakers, played him "Parachute".[2] Timomatic said, "I wanted that track, it's my sound, it's perfect."[2] When speaking about the song, he said: "When the emotion is real, it's easy to sing about, easy to write about, easy to be inspired. The song is about a guy having complete trust in his other half to jump into any situation and know you're going to be OK is a big thing, a very big thing."[2]

"Parachute" was released digitally on 5 June 2013.[3]
