Classic proof of love, from one paramour to another: Singing a love song to them. Comes in two varieties: The solo serenade, where it's just the two of them alone together, or the public affair, where a crowd of people is watching. The former is more intimate, the latter is more showy, and if it is successful, may result in a Concert Kiss. Serenading someone in front of a crowd is a sign the performer isn't afraid to let everyone know they're in love. It's also a perfect set-up for a spectacular backfire if the suitor is unwelcome and/or utterly without musical talent. Solo serenades are often done under a balcony or outside window, usually with a guitar; Karaoke Bonding Scene might also be used in modern works. Any romantic song will do, but you get bonus points if the song has the crush's name in it. Predominantly male, for some reason, but female examples are not unheard of, like the iconic scene from Macross Frontier. A Sub-Trope of Grand Romantic Gesture. A Sister Trope to Let's Duet and Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date. It could also be a Gift of Song. |

Adventure Time: In "Go With Me", part of Jake's plan to get Princess Bubblegum to go out with Finn has him dress Finn in a "lute suit" and sing for the princess. In "Incendium", Jake performs a song while posing as Finn and trying to win over Flame Princess. In "Love Games", the "Crooning" part of the competition involves the couples riding in rowboats and one member of each couple singing a romantic song to their partner. |

Three different versions of Orchids In Moonlight is used in Flying Down to Rio. The first is a solo piano piece (no lyrics) from Roger to Belinha as he's making it up (which leads to their first kiss). The second is when he's made it a huge musical number for her. The third time is when Julio, who also loves Belinha, sings her the lyrics and tells her how the song could make any woman fall in love with any man (referencing how she's fallen for Roger), but his version does receive a hug and her begging him to marry her. | |

The Simpsons does it... a lot: In one Valentine's Day ep, we see Ned serenade his wife, playing the ukulele wearing a heart-shaped costume: When Principal Skinner was trying to win back Edna, he had the school glee club sing "Oh Edna K" to the tune of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". In another episode, Homer gets "Weird Al" Yankovic to serenade Marge with a parody of John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane". Subverted when Kirk Van Houten serenades his ex-wife with "Can I Borrow a Feeling". She's completely unimpressed and the divorce stands. |

In Community, hipster Vaughn plays the guitar and sings a song he wrote for Annie to win her back. Her friends told him she actually loved Troy and her interest in him (Vaughn) was only an Operation: Jealousy. Britta and Jeff think Vaughn is too lame for cute, young, vulnerable Annie. She has been in love with Troy since high school but she really was into Vaughn as well. The song worked and she and Vaughn start dating. | |

The 10 Things I Hate About You scene is parodied in Not Another Teen Movie, where the lead character is told that to win a girl's heart, he should sing a song with her name in it (see page quote). Since she's Janey, he gets in front of the stadium full of his peers and sings "Janie's Got a Gun"; Janey is promptly tackled to the ground and tasered on suspicion of bringing a weapon to school. It doesn't help that he added her last name to the existing lyrics. | |

Some stagings of The Merchant of Venice have made Lorenzo serenade Jessica during the "elopement" scene. Back when adding stuff to Shakespeare when you edited for direction was considered perfectly fine, one copy of the script had an entirely original song for Lorenzo. Another simply stole a few lines from A Midsummer Night's Dream and had him sing them to her. | |

The Sims: The Sims 2, one of your flirting options is getting down on one knee and serenade the other person (not terribly well, mind you). In The Sims 3 this is an option at a certain level of guitar skill. The Sims Medieval also has this option. The Sims 4 lets you do it with or without a musical instrument, but you need to be very skilled with the instrument in question for the interaction to be available. |

The Sims 2, one of your flirting options is getting down on one knee and serenade the other person (not terribly well, mind you). In The Sims 3 this is an option at a certain level of guitar skill. | |

In the The Gondoliers, the song "We're called Gondolieri" has the Gondoliers of Venice sing about their typical day, which apparently consists of serenading their lovers rather than ferrying people about the canals in their gondolas. | |

Kaeloo: In one episode, Stumpy decides to ask Kaeloo to teach him how to attract girls, since she herself is a girl and probably knows what to do. She tries to teach him by making him dress as a girl and sit on a bench, so he will understand what a girl feels like. She then starts trying to serenade him with a song, pretending to be a boy, but he cuts her short because she's an awful singer and a Dreadful Musician. | |

As a music-based show, Glee has this happen a few times. An awesome instance happens when Puck sings "Fat Bottom Girls" to a plus-sized girl he's trying to impress. Even the resulting Epic Fail is awesome. The Valentine's Day Episodes has Kurt's crush Blaine admit he wants to sing a love song to a "special someone" Kurt believes is him. It turns out a) Kurt is not who Blaine wants to sing to, b) Kurt has to help Blaine sing his love song to someone else, and c) the "love song" is a particularly racy Intercourse with You song, and d) the serenading ends up getting Blaine's crush fired from his job. Serenading your lover in Glee is Epic Fail indeed. Blaine, backed by the Warblers, appear at WMHS to sing "Somewhere Only We Know" to Kurt after he moves back to McKinley! The episode "Rumours" has Santana singing "Songbird" to Brittany. In the prom episode, when Artie serenades Brittany with "Isn't She Lovely?" as an apology after calling her stupid and a kind of "promposal." She accepts the apology, but not the invitation. |

Ally McBeal: Characters were fond of going to a bar where they could perform. Sometimes couples performed together, or a song was a birthday present from a friend but Serenading One's Lover happened from time to time. John sang a rock song to Kimmy, who he dated briefly. He told an unfortunate half-truth, half-lie that he used to sing at school. He was very anxious, very dorky, and not actually a good singer, but the ladies from his office asked everybody to cheer him up and applaud him, and it helped to create a believable aura of a rocker. Kimmy was thrilled and loved every bit of his performance. Ally's boyfriend Larry sang her "Every Breath You Take" for her birthday. With Sting himself. Even Birthday Hater Ally, depressed even more that year because Larry seemed to forget about it, defrosted and loved it. |

Somewhat subverted in Love, Victor: after Victor and Benji bond over the song "Call Me Maybe" earlier in the episode 'Battle of the Bands', Benji later sings the same song at the band contest, saying that his band had just started working on the cover, implying that his moment with Victor inspired the song choice. While it might appear to Victor that he is the one being serenaded in the room full of people, Benji possibly sang the song for his boyfriend, Derek. | |

Parodied on South Park: Stan is trying to get Wendy back, and one of Wendy's friends suggests he stand outside her window and play a Peter Gabriel song as a romantic gesture, in a reference to Say Anything.... But Stan, rather than choosing "In Your Eyes", chooses the decidedly unromantic "Shock the Monkey". A bit of Fridge Brilliance in the choice of song there; "Shock the Monkey" is about jealousy, according to Word of God, made even more apparent since it then turns out Wendy has been seeing Token behind his back. | |

Mentioned in Soul Music as being one of the main sources of income for a guitar maker: when a serenading troubadour is jumping out the window to escape an angry husband, taking his guitar with him is the last thing on his mind. | |

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi: In the past, the ill-ridden Wei Wuxian once asked Lan Wangji to sing for him. Being unusually willing to hear out his crush's request, the latter hummed a melody in response. The song left such an impression on Wei Wuxian that 13 years later he plays this very song to calm down Wen Ning after his resurrection — and it's what allows Lan Wangji to recognize who "Mo Xuanyu" really is because he had only played that song once for Wei Wuxian and Wei Wuxian only. It's later revealed that Lan Wangji composed that song just for him, and even named it after the two of them, "Wangxian". In a trivia fact revealed by the author (adapted as an audio drama extra), even after they're married, Jin Zixuan decided to recite to Jiang Yanli a romantic poem that he had made for her years ago. The poem was, while genuinely heartfelt, also cheesy enough that his wife couldn't help but laugh once he was out of earshot. |

Towards the end of one episode of Family Guy, Brian attempts this with a girl he fell in love with during the filming of a reality show by singing outside of her window. The thing is, she only pretended to love him during the taping of the show, and wants nothing more to do with him (he being obsessed over her and leaving her countless voice messages on her answering machine, to the point where he filled it up and bought her a new answering machine so he could keep leaving her messages). How does this end? With an answering machine thrown right at Brian's head. | |

How I Met Your Mother: Played for Laughs and Played for Drama. In a flashback, hippie!Barney sings and plays a song for his then-ex-girlfriend Sharon who broke his heart, leaving him for a wealthy suit. He actually videotaped it, and he was half-singing, half-crying, begging her not to leave him. His friends see the tape and mock him, being used to his usual cool and aloof self. But they feel very bad when they find out how badly Sharon screwed him and that he considers this the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to him. | |

In the first episode of the FOX run of The Critic, Jay tries to persuade Alice not to get back together with her ex-husband, Cyrus, who happens to be an expert at wooing her back with serenades. In the end, Jay attempts to counter-serenade Cyrus on accordion, which Jay admits may have crossed the line from cute to idiotic. | |

In Don Giovanni, the title character serenades his former lover's maid ('Deh vieni alla finestra') with a mandolin. Played with, as he is not really in love with her. Parodied in P.D.Q. Bach's The Abduction of Figaro, where Peccadillo serenades Blondie with his ukulele, singing the plaintive refrain, "My dog has fleas."◊ |

Frasier spends an episode making a series of increasingly ridiculous Grand Romantic Gestures to his new girlfriend even though they've only been dating a few weeks. He eventually decides to sing "Oh Babe, What Would You Say?" to her during a charity ball they attend. This proves to be the last straw for Monica and she finally tells Frasier his efforts are just making her uncomfortable. | |
