love duets

Couples singing together

A love duet is a romantic song performed by two singers, typically representing lovers or potential lovers.

The form dominates musical theater and pop ballads, with voices intertwining to suggest emotional connection: They sang a love duet at the wedding.

Classic examples pair male and female voices, though the convention has broadened.
