"Romantic Homicide" is a song by American singer-songwriter D4vd. It was released on July 20, 2022, through DistroKid and later included as the second single from his debut EP, Petals to Thorns.
The song gained popularity on the social media platform TikTok in September 2022 and was re-released by Darkroom and Interscope, leading to commercial success. In 2025, the song re-entered the Billboard charts following the discovery of a teenage girl's body in a Tesla registered to D4vd.
D4vd recorded the song in his sister's closet and initially released it in July 2022. By early September, it had been featured in over 245,000 TikTok clips. A live version of the song, along with a visualizer, was released on December 8, 2023.
The song features "heavy guitars" and "sentimental percussions", exploring themes of unrequited love and breakups and is characterized by its short lyrics, described as having a "more profound meaning".
The music video for the song was released on September 7, 2022. Inspired by film noir and anime, it features an alter ego named Itami, meaning "pain" in Japanese. Directed by Tommy Kiljoy, the video depicts the character mourning and moving on from a relationship.
