Past Perfect Future Tense is the first solo album of Norwegian band a-ha's Magne Furuholmen as Magne F.[1] Coldplay members, Will Champion and Guy Berryman[2][3][4] collaborated on this project as well as Travis member, Andy Dunlop.

To launch the record Magne Furuholmen set up a website featuring hidden links to be found among the album lyrics.

Furuholmen told Norwegian newspaper VG: "It all started out as an ordinary songwriting process in the wake of the last a-ha album, but all the way I’ve had this feeling that it was turning into a solo project.
