Building on pre-release hype including the tracklist reveal and promotional events, Bruno Mars launched his fourth solo album 'The Romantic' on February 27, 2026—his first since 2016's '24K Magic'. The nine-track set arrives alongside a new music video for lead track 'Risk It All'.
'The Romantic' dropped at 9:00 p.m. PT / 12:00 a.m. ET, embracing intimate romance through cha-cha, bossa nova, funk, and new jack swing grooves. The tracklist—as previously detailed—spans 'Risk It All', 'Cha Cha Cha', 'I Just Might' (lead single with January video), 'God Was Showing Off', 'Why You Wanna Fight?', 'On My Soul', 'Something Serious', 'Nothing Left', and 'Dance With Me'. No guest features confirmed.
The 'Risk It All' video, co-directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos, shows Mars with a mariachi band at a wedding, evoking sunny domestic bliss.
This follows listening parties from February 25 and 'Romantic Radio' previews on February 26. Mars recently performed at the 2026 Grammys after his 2025 win with Lady Gaga on 'Die With a Smile', and Silk Sonic's 2021 successes.
An upcoming tour will include Anderson .Paak, Victoria Monét, RAYE, and Leon Thomas.
