Fans Choose Dove Cameron’s ‘When in Rome’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

“When in Rome,” Dove Cameron’s new single, tops this week’s new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (Sept. 11) on Billboard, choosing the singer’s whimsical love song as their favorite new music.

Bringing in more than 71% of the vote, “When in Rome” rose above new tunes streaming in from Jhené Aiko, Slayyyter, Bleachers and more artists.

Dove Cameron’s a very familiar name — besides building a career in television, where she flourished as a young Disney star (Liv and Maddie, The Descendants), she’s been recording music for several years as part of her solo endeavors — but her new single is the first listen off of what will actually be her long-awaited, debut full-length studio album.

The sunny sound of “When in Rome” likely has some in-love-in-real-life inspiration. Cameron’s engaged to Måneskin frontman Damiano David, who’s Italian and happens to have “jet black hair,” much like the muse of the feel-good new track.

“We should fall in love when in Rome,” Cameron sings in bliss. “Why don’t we get married, build a home?/ Something in the summertime/ Maybe all the cherry wine/ Makes me wanna take off my clothes/ And fall in love when in Rome.”

“When in Rome” arrived Friday with a playful music video celebrating romance, directed by Hannah De Vries. Cameron gushed about the co-stars featured in the sweet visual, writing on Instagram, “everyone showed UP and played with us, they were performerssss, they wanted to improv/dance/bring ideas and it made the whole 2 days a genuine joy. thank you also to the town cats, who played themselves. love creates alternate realities.”

She has yet to announce a title or release date for her upcoming album.

Trailing behind “When in Rome” on this week’s poll are Jhené Aiko’s Westside Whimsy album, with 11% of the vote. Slayyyter’s “Crank 2” and Bleachers’ “Caught Myself Believing” came in next on the ranking.
