"British Bombs" is a song by English singer, songwriter, and musician Declan McKenna. It was released as single on 19 August 2019 through Sony Music Entertainment.^[2] The song was written by McKenna and produced by James Ford.

McKenna said that "British Bombs" is about the hypocrisy of the British arms trade and DSEI, the weapons convention in London. "I think too often it's implied that matters in the world are too complex to not end up with war, or to not possess and sell weapons, and I just think it is pure bullshit," he told NME. "Not only do we still engage in wars far away from our homes, which settle nothing and fuel extremism in the aftermath, we sell weapons to other countries full well knowing where they end up. I wanted to write a song that was outright against war, in any form. Violence breeds violence and I just don't think the world is too complex to set a peaceful precedent, but it seems the business of war is what keeps happening. To say it's a shame feels like a huge understatement."^[3]
