love duet

Sweethearts singing together

A love duet is a musical piece sung by two performers expressing romantic feelings, typically for each other.

The form is central to opera, musical theater, and popular music, where it often marks a dramatic turning point in a relationship: The second act closes with a love duet between the leads.

The term occasionally describes any romantic back-and-forth between two people.
