Timeabout (stylized as Timeabout,) is the first extended play by Japanese musician Yukika Teramoto, released on April 7, 2021, by Ubuntu Entertainment and distributed by YG Plus. It is her first release under Ubuntu following her departure from Estimate Entertainment in November 2020.

On February 21, 2021, Teramoto's label announced that she would be releasing an EP during the first half of the year alongside a teaser photo titled "Past: Illusion One".[3][4] The first single "Lovemonth" was subsequently announced on February 24. "Lovemonth" was released on March 2 and peaked at 143 on the Gaon Download Chart.[5] A release schedule was posted on March 25, revealing the track listing, release date, as well as teaser photos and videos over the weeks leading up to April 7.[6]

The EP was released on April 7 in yellow and blue variations. A music video for the track "Insomnia" was released on the same day and depicts Teramoto traveling to the past to motivate her younger self, intercut with shots of a clock filling with water.[7][8]
