The track was written by John Duarte and Mark Paul and produced by her manager George Tobin. A teen pop song, it was first released on October 31, 1988 in the United Kingdom as the lead single from the album. In the United States, the song was released to radio in February 1989 as the second single from the album following "All This Time".
The track became a decent hit for Tiffany, hitting number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and number 35 on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it is to date her last single to chart. In Peru's premier radio station Radio Panamericana, "Radio Romance" was on the top 100 year end chart at number 11. In South Africa's Springbok Radio year-end for 1989, "Radio Romance" placed number 13. To promote the track in America, Tiffany performed it on the Mickey Mouse Club and The Arsenio Hall Show.
Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media said the song resembled Spector's "Be My Baby". Billboard gave the song a negative review saying, "Inexcusably boring and one-dimensional hi-NRG from an artist who should be utilizing her popularity by trying material a bit more challenging. One sugar too many."
Music video
The music video for "Radio Romance" shows Tiffany as 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 what looks like a dream sequence. As the video progresses, a child appears with a magic wand.
