Romance is David Cassidy's seventh studio album as a solo artist and his first released by Arista Records.

Since growing out of his teen idol fame from The Partridge Family, Cassidy continued to try to re-invent his music career; however, in the United States, his latter albums from the 1970s did not chart.

[2] George Michael sang on the song, "The Last Kiss" (originally recorded with different lyrics by Cliff Richard in 1981 as "Young Love").

Subsequent singles from the album—"Romance (Let Your Heart Go)",[2] "Someone" and "She Knows All About Boys"—were minor hits in comparison.

Tarney also wrote or co-wrote (with Cassidy) all songs on the album with the exception of "She Knows All About Boys".
