Marking a decade since his last solo project, Bruno Mars returns with his long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic, available everywhere now via Atlantic Records.
It features songs including the explosive I Just Might, which became his inaugural no. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100, and Risk It All, accompanied by an official music video directed by Bruno and Daniel Ramos, now on YouTube HERE. Adding to its momentum, Bruno premiered the album across all iHeartRadio stations while livestreaming on TikTok Live.
The release comes alongside numerous activations around the world, including mobile flower trucks distributing roses, “love lock” walls stationed across the globe, and The Romantic Flower Shop pop-up in Los Angeles at Tommy’s Gift Shop on Pico Blvd.
The Romantic comes in the wake of Bruno’s continued chart success, with previous singles including the Grammy award-winning Die With A Smile with Lady Gaga, which became the fastest song in Spotify history to reach 1 billion streams and topped the Billboard Global 200 Chart for a record-tying 18 weeks, as well as the pervasive APT with ROSÉ, which was recently named International Federation of the Phonographic Industry’s (IFPI) biggest-selling global single of 2025, crowned the most globally streamed song of 2025 by Apple Music, and scored 19 weeks at no. 1 on the Billboard Global Exclusive US Chart and 12 weeks at number one on the Billboard Global 200 Chart.
Beyond its massive global chart achievements, APT also won Song of the Year in the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, and earned three nominations in this year’s 68th Annual Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
