Radio Romance is a song by American pop singer Tiffany, released as the second single from her second album, Hold an Old Friend’s Hand (1988), in the US and first from the album in the UK and Australia. By early 1989 radio was changing and the genres played were switching to hip hop and R&B music.
There was less room for young pop acts such as Tiffany. As a result, “Radio Romance” failed to achieve the success of her previous singles. It made the Top 40 in the US and managed to become a hit in the UK, where it reached #13. To promote the single in the US, Tiffany performed the song on the Mickey Mouse Club and The Arsenio Hall Show.
Music Video
The music video for “Radio Romance” was one of Tiffany’s most surreal. In the video, she plays a waitress in a diner who calls the radio request line often to request a song for her secret crush. The problem is that he is holding hands with her best friend. Later in the video, Tiffany dances with others in a what looks like a dream sequence. As the video progresses, a child appears with a magic wand which furthers the video’s fantasy nature.
Radio Romance Lyrics (1989)
From who?
Uh, just say from
From the one who loves you, baby
I see you baby
Every single day
Holding on to my best friend
But you don’t see me
So I make the same request now
Every single night
Going out from me to you
On the dedication line
I wonder if you’re listening
To the words that keep me wishing
That one day I’ll be kissing you
Wo wo wo
Radio Radio romance
Radio Radio romance
Radio Radio romance
Radio Romance
My secret admiration
I won’t reveal
I wouldn’t want to hurt no one
By tellin’ how I feel
The DJ knows my voice now
He even knows my choice now
He never says my name
He just says “From the one
Who loves you baby”
One night you’ll hear a song
And then you’ll know just who it’s from
(Rap) I see you baby, every single day
Holding on to my best friend
But you don’t see me
I wonder if you’re listening
To the words that keep me wishing
That one day I’ll be kissing you
