Dove Cameron Drops Sexy Single ‘Romeo’: Listen

Dove Cameron gets dark and mythical on her new single. On Friday, the pop star released the video for “Romeo,” her follow-up to earworm “French Girls,” and just days after her triumphant opening set for Dua Lipa.

“‘Romeo’ is about a love that feels mythic – a love that feels fated, all-consuming and a little dangerous and disarming,” says Cameron in a press release. “I wrote the song and created the visuals to feel bizarre and otherworldly and purposefully lost in space and time.”

Cameron explains that while “Romeo” is a love song at its core, it’s “wrapped in the dark undulating production” that she’s experimenting with in this new era of her music. “I’ve come to love [it] so much,” she says of the new era. “I’m excited for everyone to hear it.”

The Curry Tian-directed video captures Cameron in a series of sexy looks inside a dark, luxurious home as she sings to her lover from a bedroom, surrounded by shadowy dancers. The visuals cut to surreal scenes of her walking through an otherworldly place before she approaches a body seemingly frozen in a glass chamber. By the end, her “Romeo” slowly comes to life.

“Give u that love you’d kill yourself for/I bleed red so Valentino,” she sings on the catchy chorus. “No I don’t speak Italiano/But I like the way you put it down slow.” (Damiano David, is that you?)

According to a press release, the new singles — “Romeo,” “French Girls” and February’s “Too Much” — are coming ahead of an “exciting new chapter of music” from Cameron.
