Bruno Mars is back. The 16-time Grammy winner kicked off his next era with a funk-laced single, a clone-filled video, and a world tour announcement that stretches from Las Vegas to Vancouver.
The New Single & Video
“I Just Might” arrived alongside a self-directed performance clip that turns a carpeted studio into a one-man dance party. Mars-wearing a green suit-plays every instrument, films himself, and performs synchronized steps with digital duplicates under shifting colored lights.
Lyrics hinge on a dance-floor spark: “Hey, Mr. DJ / Play a song for this pretty little lady / ‘Cause if she dance as good as she look right now / I just might, I just might make her my baby.”
Mars teased the drop on Instagram: “It’s party time! The self-proclaimed Aura Lord is Back.”
