Caroline Romano Shares New Single, “Pretty Boys”


We were ready for you this time Caroline, we’re ready to get emotional. A self-proclaimed “loudest sort of introvert“, at a meager 19 years old Caroline has written her way into the alt-pop movement of this generation. Since dropping her initial single back in 2017, she already has a handful of singles under her belt and has racked up over a million streams online. This single follows her previously released “PDA of the Mainstream”, which marked her transition from indie bedroom pop over to the alternative pop-punk scene. We aren’t the only ones taking notice, as Caroline’s quick rise in the alt-pop world has garnered support from tastemakers like Hollywood Life, American Songwriter, and Just Jared.

“‘Pretty Boys’ is my honest recount of heartbreak. It’s like reading straight from my diary—a dramatic story with a terribly disappointing ending. The song is a cautionary tale about the blurry line between friendship and something more. Just because you’ve kissed him doesn’t mean you should do it again, and just because he looks at you that way doesn’t mean you’re the only one. ‘Pretty Boys’ feels like a high school crush at 22, with all the highs, lows, and semi-committal main characters. It’s a very specific experience, but one that’s universally relatable.”

Caroline Romano’s new single, “Pretty Boys,” blends emotional vulnerability with explosive alt-pop energy, solidifying her rising star status. The track begins with a stripped-back guitar and Romano’s tender vocals, drawing listeners into an intimate space that reflects the raw emotions of heartbreak. As the song progresses, it erupts into a powerful, anthem-like chorus, capturing the intensity of love and loss through both her soaring voice and energetic production.

Lyrically, “Pretty Boys” explores the allure of superficial attraction and the emptiness that can follow. Romano’s ability to balance soft, introspective moments with big, urgent choruses gives the song a dynamic range that makes it both deeply personal and universally relatable.
