Bruno Mars’ “Something Serious” is track 7 on his fourth solo studio album The Romantic, which dropped on February 27, 2026! Produced by Bruno Mars and D’Mile, it’s a fun, slinky mid-tempo groove blending ’70s Latin rock influences (with nods to War’s “Low Rider” and Santana’s “Oye Como Va” in the cowbell, clipped horns, and slithering rhythms).
Clocking in at around 2:46, the song is a playful yet earnest pitch for real, committed love—no games, just building something lasting with “boo thang” energy, promises of loyalty, and even dreaming about “pretty babies.” It’s got that feel-good, danceable Bruno charm with a retro flair, making it a highlight for fans craving his signature romantic swagger.
Something Serious Bruno Mars Lyrics
Ooh, I got it bad for ya
You’ve got to understand
You should be my boo thang, my boo thang
I should be your mans
Girl, don’t you want that real love?
I’ll always have your back
Don’t you want some pretty babies? Pretty babies?
I could give you that
Us together (Oh-oh-oh)
Us together (Somethin’ light)
Something serious
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Ooh, I got it bad for ya (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You’ve got to understand (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooh, you should be my boo thang, boo thang
I should be your mans (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now, don’t you—? Don’t you want that real love? (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
