The Time is the second album by British pop band Bros and the follow-up to the successful debut Push. It was released on 16 October 1989 and was their first album as a duo (Matt Goss and Luke Goss) due to the departure of bassist Craig Logan earlier in the year. It was also the first album to feature Matt and Luke as co-writers, along with Nicky Graham.

The album reached #4 in the UK Albums Chart and spawned four hit singles.[2] It ended up being certified Gold.[3]
