Bruno Mars is back. The Grammy-winning singer returned Friday (Jan. 9) to launch his The Romantic era with the new single “I Just Might.”

Dropping at the stroke of midnight, the slick new song channels Leo Sayer’s disco classic “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing,” and is accompanied with a music video which sees Mars, dressed in a green suit, fronting a band of Brunos. Daniel Ramos and Mars direct the clip.


The single will land on Bruno’s fourth studio album, with The Romantic slated to arrive on Feb. 27. It’s the pop supernova’s first solo LP in nearly a decade, which came with 2016’s Grammy-winning 24K Magic album.

Bruno shook up the music landscape with a simple four-word announcement on Jan. 5. “My album is done,” he wrote to X.

In the time between solo projects, Bruno has been selective with his releases. He teamed up with Anderson .Paak for An Evening With Silk Sonic in 2021, which dominated at the Grammy Awards.

Bruno Mars also made his presence felt on the charts with collaborations like the dynamic Billboard Hot 100-topper “Die With a Smile” featuring Lady Gaga and “APT.” alongside BLACKPINK’s Rosé, which topped the year-end Billboard Global 200 chart for 2025.

The 40-year-old will also embark on his first global stadium outing. The Romantic Tour is set to invade North American stadiums this spring and summer, as the trek will kick off in Las Vegas on April 10.

Anderson .Paak as DJ Pee. Wee, RAYE, Victoria Monét and Leon Thomas will be taking turns as supporting acts at various stops on the run. In addition to major North American markets, The Romantic Tour is heading across the pond for European shows in Paris, Milan, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid and Paris.

John Mulaney Postpones Minneapolis Shows Following ICE Killing of Renee Nicole Good: ‘What’s Happening in Your City Is Heartbreaking’

Comedian said it "doesn't it right" to ask fans to come out amid the turmoil over the incident that spurred massive anti-ICE protests across the country on Thursday (Jan. 8).

Comedian John Mulaney informed fans on Thursday (Jan. 8) that he was postponing his planned shows at the Armory in Minneapolis this weekend because it “doesn’t sit right” with him to put his audience at risk after the Trump administration surged 2,000 agents into the city as part of its nationwide immigration enforcement blitz.

“What’s happening in your city is heartbreaking,” wrote Mulaney, who is in the midst of his Mister Whatever comedy tour. “I hate to postpone shows in a town going through such awful challenges and such grief, because it feels unfair to the audience. Still, I don’t feel comfortable asking thousands of people each night to leave their homes, gather at the venue, and then make their way home when the situation is so unsafe.”
