"Romancing the Stone" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Eddy Grant. It was the title track to the 1984 film Romancing the Stone, starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. The song was released as a single and became a significant hit, particularly in Europe.

The song is a reggae-influenced pop tune characterized by its catchy melody, prominent synthesizer riffs, and Grant's distinctive vocals. The lyrics generally reflect the adventurous and romantic themes present in the film. While not a direct retelling of the movie's plot, the song evokes a sense of exotic locales, danger, and passionate connection.

Commercially, "Romancing the Stone" performed well, achieving top ten positions in several European countries. It helped to further solidify Eddy Grant's international success following his earlier hit "Electric Avenue." Although it didn't achieve the same level of popularity in the United States, it is still considered one of Grant's most recognizable songs and is often associated with the film of the same name.
