Bruno Mars is back! A decade on since his last album, the chart-topping 24K Magic, Mars has announced his much-anticipated fourth studio album, The Romantic, is dropping on Friday 27 February via Atlantic Records (pre-order here).
The release of The Romantic arrives after a very quiet 2025, with Mars’ most recent releases being collaborations with pop superstar Lady Gaga on ‘Die With A Smile’ and New Zealand and South Korean singer and songwriter ROSÉ on ‘APT’ in 2024.
Along with announcing his new album, Mars has shared lead single ‘I Just Might’. A funky, energetic '70s-inspired barnburner, the track is accompanied by a music video directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos that features multiple iterations of Mars performing the song. Check it out below.
