Bruno Mars’ “Why You Wanna Fight?” is track 5 on his fourth solo studio album The Romantic, which dropped on February 27, 2026! Produced by Bruno Mars and D’Mile, it’s a sultry, vulnerability-drenched R&B slow jam clocking in at around 4:14 (one of the longer cuts on the 9-track project).
Channeling classic ’70s/’80s “begging anthems” (think pleading soul like early Silk Sonic or Rose Royce influences), Bruno strips away the ego to admit faults, apologize, and flip the script from argument to intimacy—pleading to make love instead of war, with fuzzy guitar intros, moaning leads, and layered harmonies building emotional tension.
Why You Wanna Fight? Bruno Mars Lyrics
Ooh-woo (Ooh)
Woo
Woo (Ooh)
Ah
Why you wanna fight with me, baby?
Wouldn’t you rather make love tonight?
Tell me why you wanna fight with me, baby?
Let me show you I can make it right, oh
You want me knocking on the door, cryin’ in the rain
Babygirl, for you, I’ll do all them things
(I’m beggin’) I’m beggin’, baby (Beggin’, don’t go)
I’m beggin’, don’t go, baby, no, no, no
I’ve apologized, but you keep going on
Ain’t too proud to say, I admit, I was wrong
Stop playin’ with me, come back home
Why you wanna fight with me, baby? (Why you wanna fight?)
Wouldn’t you rather make love tonight? (Sweet love)
Tell me why you wanna fight with me, baby? (Why you wanna fight?)
Let me show you I can make it right, oh-oh-oh
Just run into my arms, let’s just start again
Girl, I’ll call your momma, plead with all your friends
(I’ll do it) Yes, I will (Do it for us)
Oh, I’ll do it for us ’cause enough is enough
We can work this out, don’t say that it’s through
You may hate me now, but I never stopped lovin’ you
That’s what we not gon’ do
Why you wanna fight with me, baby? (Why you wanna fight?)
Wouldn’t you rather make love tonight? (Sweet love)
Tell me why you wanna fight with me, baby? Yeah (Why you wanna fight?)
Let me show you I can make it right
I can make it right, oh, oh, baby
Come home (Oh)
Home (Ooh)
I can’t stop thinkin’ about you, girl
My world just ain’t the same without you, girl, oh
Come home (Oh-woah)
Home (Ooh)
If your heart hurt just like mine
I’ma ask you one more time
Why you wanna fight with me, me, babe? (Why you wanna fight?)
Wouldn’t you rather make love? Sweet love (Sweet love)
Sweet, tender love
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why? (Why you wanna fight?)
Let me show you I can make it right
Oh, I can make it right tonight
