In both the song and the play, the couples share an intense and passionate love, that begins with love at first sight. The lyrics, "I found love where it wasn't supposed to be, right in front of me," are similar to how Romeo and Juliet fall in love at first sight and shouldn't because of their family's feud.

The song "Love on the Brain" by Rhianna shows the theme of intense love and passion. Love on the Brain is about being addicted to love and not being able to escape it. This is similar to the love between Romeo and Juliet. They are consumed by their passionate feelings for each other and are willing to sacrifice their lives to be together. "Oh, and babe I'm fist-fighting with fire
Just to get close to you
Can we burn something, babe?
And I run for miles just to get a taste"
These lyrics from Love On the Brain show feelings portrayed in Romeo and Juliet, because in both cases they are at odds with the love and will go to extreme measures just to be with the other person. When people fall in love it isn't hard to become addicted to it. Especially in modern times with immediate access to a partner, people fall in love quickly and become attached to it.
