"Television Romance" is a song by the English indie pop band Pale Waves, released on 16 August 2017 to promote their debut album, My Mind Makes Noises (2018).

'"[3] In a discussion with Sarah Kidd of Ambient Light, Baron-Gracie said, "That happens a lot in this day and age where people just don’t listen and just keep trying to say something that obviously isn’t the same for the other person.

"[5] Musically, "Television Romance" is an indie pop[9] song in the key of E major that is played at a tempo of 115 beats per minute.

[10] Described as "dream pop nostalgia",[11] "Television Romance" opens with a "swirling guitar riff",[12] and "high-pitched vocals, [all] backed by sugar-sweet synths".

"[15] While analysing the lyrics to "Television Romance", Euphoria magazine wrote that they are "dripping with solitude and teen angst as it is blooming with confidence".

"When we were listening back to [original mixes of 'There's a Honey' and 'Television Romance'] it was pretty clear that we had to re-record them," Baron-Gracie explained in a feature with Ones to Watch.

[18][19] The music video for "Television Romance" was co-directed by Samuel Burgess-Johnson and Matty Healy, with the latter making his directorial debut.

The winner was revealed at the ceremony at London's O2 Academy Brixton on 14 February, with the band losing out to The Big Moon with their video for "Sucker".

Von Pip wrote that the song was a "lovingly crafted slice of slick but heartfelt indie, one that you could imagine being featured in a John Hughes montage".

[34] In a review of the band's debut album, My Mind Makes Noises, Emily Mackay of The Guardian, described the song as "monstrously addictive", and "all glistening 80s pop muscle and deadpan delivery".

[34] Heather Baron-Gracie addressed this criticism on 5 December 2017 via her official Twitter account, saying: "If our songs sound ‘similar’ it's because we’re the same band".

"Television Romance" is prominently featured in Ken Ninomiya's 2019 film Chiwawa during a scene in which the titular character goes viral on Instagram.
