Death & Romance

"Death & Romance" is a song by the American duo Magdalena Bay from their second studio album, Imaginal Disk (2024). It was released through Mom + Pop Music on May 28, 2024, as the album's lead single. Both members of the duo—Matthew Lewin and Mica Tenenbaum—wrote and produced the song, while the mixing was handled by Dave Fridmann and was mastered by Emily Lazar. Written in a two-week period, "Death & Romance" is a psychedelic pop, neo-psychedelia, and synth-pop track led by piano and drums. The fictional lyrics represent a woman who was left by her alien boyfriend.

Upon its release, "Death & Romance" was met with positive reception from music critics; some of them called it a standout on Imaginal Disk. The magazine Paste ranked it as the best song of 2024, while other publications included it in lower positions of their year-end lists. A music video for the song premiered on June 18, 2024; it was directed by Amanda Kramer and follows the story of True, a character portrayed by Tenenbaum. Magdalena Bay performed "Death & Romance" as part of the regular set list in The Imaginal Mystery Tour (2024).
