Background

Talking about the song on his YouTube account, Solveig said, "I’m so thrilled to present you ‘Juliet & Romeo’ both the track and the music video. It’s a song that is very special to me, almost like a reminiscence from last summer in Ibiza. Having the talented Roy Woods singing on this one adds a new dimension to it!"[4]

Reception

Katie Bain of Billboard said, "Shakespeare's teenage lovers may have been doomed, but the French producer and smooth Canadian singer's disco house beat is nothing but funky and upbeat. It's built around a plucky piano sample from Kölsch's “Der Alte,” who remixed Solveig's “My Love” in 2018. For this take, Solveig bumps the pulsing keys with a driving club rhythm and funkalicious vocal chop hook. Woods brings infectious with a playful chorus and layered harmonies. This is one for the dance floor, for sure."[5]
