"Sex Bomb" is a song by Welsh singer Tom Jones. Performed in collaboration with German DJ and record producer Mousse T., the song was released in 1999 in several European countries; in January of the following year, it was issued across the rest of Europe except the United Kingdom, where it was not released until May 2000. Outside the UK, the track served as the second single from Jones' 34th album, Reload, while in the UK, it served as the fourth single.

Commercially, "Sex Bomb" reached number one in France and Switzerland while becoming a top-three hit in Austria, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Wallonia. The song's music video was directed by Barry Maguire.[1] The Peppermint Disco Mix of the track contains a sample from "All American Girls" by Sister Sledge. A different version of the song appears on Mousse T.'s 2001 debut solo album, Gourmet de Funk.[2]
