Who IsBruno Mars

It seems a woman has convinced herself that Bruno isn’t right for her.

She tells him they can’t be together because he isn’t perfect, but Bruno replies that there’s no such thing as a perfect person in this world.

No matter how much he tries to talk to her, her standards for an ideal partner are so high that Bruno can’t keep up—this is a song about a woman’s unattainable ideal.

A gem of a love song that poignantly captures the ache of a long-distance relationship.

Released in November 2008, Brandy Norwood’s captivating vocals beautifully enhance the song’s world.

The lyrics convey the longing for a distant lover so vividly that you might find your eyes welling up.

If you’ve ever been separated from someone dear, this is a song you’ll surely relate to.

All About YouBruno Mars

In this song, Bruno sings that although he usually doesn’t show his true self to the world, he’s ready to reveal even the most embarrassing parts of himself for the woman he loves.

Even though he knows that showing his real self might get him rejected if he confesses, it’s a sweet song about how he still wants this woman to know everything about him.

Mark Ronson, the producer behind “Locked out of Heaven,” has teamed up with Bruno again.

This song appears in the romantic comedy drama Jane the Virgin.

It’s the perfect song for a wedding.

In this song, Bruno talks about his relationship with her.

They seem like a couple that gets along very poorly, arguing almost every day.

Even when they try to distance themselves and ignore each other multiple times, deep down they both know they only want each other as romantic partners.

So in the end, they always come back together, repeating cycles of fighting and talking things through, and gradually make up.
