We were almost in tears, just the power of music…the power of what it is we can create. Originally released as the fourth and last single of Doo-Wops and Hooligans , "Marry You" is about Bruno falling head over heels for a girl at first sight.
In the song, Bruno tells his lady love all the things he likes. Those things include beautiful beach houses, extravagant foods, and fancy cars. While the background and lyrics of the song are simple, it sets Bruno up as a rich man ready to spoil his love.
It's a declaration to Bruno's woman that she will always be the center of his attention, and features some disco-era throwbacks when it comes to sound production. The retro music video is particularly memorable.
Besides funky visuals, it features Bruno and his crew dressed up in stunning red suits. They perform electric choreography, and even float through outer space. He sings about how he hopes her new man is treating her right: buying her flowers, holding her hand, and dancing with her. Basically all the things Bruno would do if they ever got back together. Bruno has stated on many occasions "When I Was Your Man" is the hardest song in his discography to perform because of the meaningful lyrics.
The powerhouse vocals also make this a difficult ballad to belt, but Bruno pulls it off with flying colors. Bruno Mars plays his piano, but in a TV studio. The pianos they both play also have a glass of whiskey sitting on top. We think not. It earned him lots of critical acclaim and Grammy nominations. With a broken heart, Bruno lists off several extreme acts just to prove his love to a girl.
Unfortunately, she couldn't care less. In an interview with Idolator , Bruno explained the backstory behind the song. The video has Bruno pulling a heavy piano behind him while traveling a great distance. What am I not giving to you? The first song that turned Bruno Mars into a pop star, "Just the Way You Are" is an affirming message to all women that they are beautiful no matter what imperfections they think they have.
While the song has Bruno serenading a specific dream girl of his, the Grammy-winning songwriter specifically wrote the song to be inclusive for all listeners. A song that hits especially hard due to months of doing nothing in quarantine, "The Lazy Song" showcases Bruno Mars's sense of humor. An anthem for couch potatoes with catchy lyrics and cute whistling solos, it's the perfect song for days when you "don't feel like doing anything.
He and his colleagues were trying to write a song "better than the Beatles. The music video is another relic of early 's pop culture. In it, Bruno and his crew a group of monkeys wearing sunglasses and flannel shirts dance around a cozy-looking bedroom. There's awesome choreography, a cameo from a robe-clad roommate, and even gold confetti!
With an 80's-style electronic score and a vocoded introduction that would make Daft Punk proud , "24K Magic" is a highlight of Bruno Mars's career. A pure party anthem, it proves Bruno is able to adapt to the sounds of recent pop hits while creating something all his own. Calling this song "the invitation to the party" on his Instagram , he released the music video for "24K Magic" on October 7, In it, Bruno is joined by an opulent-looking squad living their best lives in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Released in , "Locked Out of Heaven" is a new wave, funk, and reggae rock song about the heavenly feelings a relationship infused with good sex and positivity can bring. This one, produced by Mars and Stereotypes, is further proof of Mars' dominance of the pop charts before he stepped out on his own as a full-fledged performer.
Brandy absolutely kills it here, but Bruno's version is equally magnificent in its own right. Because, obviously. My personal vote for one of the absolute best songs on this list.
Top five, easily. Top three, potentially. This '09 electropop hit might not be within Bruno's typical genres of play, but the slinky verse melodies are pure Smeezingtons. A sunny Beatles-esque melody with a driving, pulsating electronic beat -- yep, the Smeezingtons definitely had a hand in this one.
More like this please? Can Bruno's third album be entirely electro-funk? Bruno sang this Smeezingtons composition , too, but it ended up on Charice's album Infinity , released in Japan in Bruno collabed with frequent partners The Jackie Boyz and Garibay for this dance-pop gem from Palmer's second mixtape in A precursor to Doo-Wops And Hooligans , this tune's brass and steady backbeat could've definitely been a Bruno original on his debut album. An ode to "my very first white girl," this song from Goodie Mob's Age Against The Machine album is adorned with horns and soul-inspired rhythms, just like we've come to expect from Bru and Cee Lo, tbh.
Mars and Dr. Luke were only two of the mad scientists who helped craft this '80s-sampling tune. Bruno also penned "Better" from Wu's previous album, V. Bruno's on this one, too, obviously. And he sounds damn good.
