After the success of the group's first album Remedy, the group had decided to record and compose a new studio album. "Romeo" was one of the first songs recorded, composed and produced by the group. The production of the song was held off because the group had just released their unreleased compilation album Jaxx Unreleased in 1999. "Romeo" was released on 4 June 2001 as the first single of the duo's best-to-date album Rooty (2001). The vocals of the song was sung by fellow British R&B singer Kele Le Roc. The song was produced and written by Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe themselves. Romeo is a dance-pop song, which shares a lot of disco influences, and house music.

The song was used in many independent and mainstream soundtracks. It was featured in the UK series of Now That's What I Call Music! and the Ministry of Sound soundtrack. The song was also featured on the PlayStation game series SingStar. The song is available as a music video format on iTunes. Before the studio version was recorded and released, there was an acoustic version which was released on the groups EP called Xxtra Cutz (2001), which also featured the b-sides to the singles release.
