"A Certain Romance" is a song by English rock band Arctic Monkeys written by frontman Alex Turner. It is a re-recorded version of a 2004 demo, and serves as the closing track of their 2006 debut studio album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. The song was conceived by Turner in his teens, and follows his observation of the activities and romance—and lack thereof—among youth.
"A Certain Romance" was deemed a highlight of the album and praised by critics for its composition and lyrics, though it was not released as a single.
