Bruno Mars burst onto the music scene in 2010 with his infectious brand of pop, R&B, funk and soul. Since then, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his smooth vocals, retro sounds, and talent for writing catchy, relatable lyrics.
As Mars continues to churn out hits, his lyrics touch on universal themes like love, heartbreak and celebration. He has a knack for lyrics that are simple yet powerful, fun yet meaningful. Let’s rank his most memorable lines and see which ones rise to the top.
This 2017 track is dripping with feel-good energy as Mars declares all the finer things he’d shower his love interest with. The lyrics celebrate romance and going all-in on someone who makes you feel like a million bucks. “You can have it all, no doubt” captures that feeling of having it all when you’re with the right one.
9. “I’d catch a grenade for you” – Grenade
The desperation in this line from his breakout 2010 single Grenade is palpable. Mars uses the extreme metaphor of jumping in front of a grenade for someone to portray the dramatic lengths people go to for love. It’s over-the-top yet somehow completely relatable.
8. “Girl let me love you” – Versace on the Floor
Sometimes less is more, and the simplicity of this plea sums up the romantic essence of this sultry 2016 track. With the lush production building behind him, Mars croons “Girl let me love you” with earnest sensitivity.
7. “Put your records on, tell me your favorite song” – Just the Way You Are
Mars serenades his lady by calling attention to her quirks in this massive 2010 hit. It’s a small but clever way of making her feel special for who she is. The line radiates an easy, affectionate vibe that anyone can connect with.
6. “We’ll be counting stars” – Counting Stars
As this 2013 smash builds into its huge chorus, Mars delivers this gem: “We’ll be counting stars.” There’s something wistful yet hopeful in this line, as if despite struggles, the two lovers can always look up to the boundless sky together.
5. “Oh don’t you dare look back, just keep your eyes on me” – Treasure
Mars taps into the nervous excitement of a new romance in the 2013 single Treasure. When he insists “just keep your eyes on me,” you feel that thrilling, tingly rush. The line evokes such a specific young love moment, it gives you butterflies.
4. “I think I wanna marry you” – Marry You
Few musical marriage proposals are as splashy and overjoyed as this 2010 Bruno Mars number. Its chorus is built around a legendary hook: “I think I wanna marry you.” Mars sells the spontaneity of the lyric, like he’s caught up in the feeling and just has to declare it. It never fails to make you swoon and smile.
3. “Baby squirrel, you’s a sexy motherf***er” – 24k Magic
One of Mars’ most recent hits, this playful 2016 jam is all about old school swagger. Mars brings the funk with his lyrics, using silly lines like “baby squirrel, you’s a sexy motherf***er” to keep it flirty and fun. It’s as smooth as it is ridiculous.
2. “This hit, that ice cold, Michelle Pfeiffer” – Uptown Funk
It’s nearly impossible to pick just one quotable line from Mars’s iconic 2014 smash with Mark Ronson, Uptown Funk. But his reference to Michelle Pfeiffer sets the tone for the cool factor they’re bringing. With this swaggering analogy, Mars is staking his claim as the hottest, coolest thing around.
1. “When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change” – Just the Way You Are
After over a decade of steamy love songs and party anthems, Mars’ most memorable line remains one of his first. In the chorus of his breakout 2010 single Just the Way You Are, he delivers a simple yet powerful declaration: “When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change.” It’s become his signature for good reason – the direct lyric embodies the feeling of loving someone truly and unconditionally.
Whether serenading a lover or hyping up a crowd, Bruno Mars has a knack for lyrics that feel good and stick with you. As his catalogue continues growing, so will his collection of quotable lines that capture those universal human emotions and moments. But hits like Just the Way You Are and Uptown Funk have cemented some of his best lines in music history forever.
