Bruno Mars’s “Finesse,” which made waves with its collaboration with Cardi B, is a track released in 2018.

It’s a song inspired by ’90s hip-hop, filled with sounds familiar to fans of the genre.

While the bass line is fundamentally simple, the phrase that comes in right before the chorus is full of originality and incredibly appealing.

The bass line, which tightens up the track, leaves a strong impression, so bassists looking to expand their phrase repertoire should definitely check it out.

This song depicts the days Bruno spends living in deep poverty.

He has no money, can’t pay the rent, and tries to earn a little by playing guitar on the street, but barely makes anything and only builds up stress.

To forget that stress, he gives in to illicit drugs and cheap alcohol—a blues set in the liquor store, so to speak.

Bruno Mars – Again (Unofficial Video)

These lyrics say that even if a series of really unpleasant or bad things happen, if something really good comes along afterward (in the song’s case, meeting a certain woman), then I can accept all the hardships that happened before.

Some people, after the pain of a breakup makes them think “I never want to fall in love again,” might later meet someone new and think, “So all that was just a trial to lead me to this person!”—and that’s essentially what this is about.

All She KnowsBruno Mars

Bruno Mars – All She Knows (Lyrics on Screen)
All She KnowsBruno Mars

It’s a song about a man who has a crush on a woman receiving a kind of DV-like “love” from the first man she dated.

He wants to save her from the abusive guy, but if, for you, even being hurt by him has become a form of love, then wanting to rescue you from that is just my selfish excuse—those lyrics are heartbreaking.

GorillaBruno Mars

It’s a track from the second studio album, “Unorthodox Jukebox.” The mid-tempo rock and soft rock power-pop hooks, together with the primal, untamed vocals, vividly and viscerally bring the world of “Gorilla” to life.
