Bruno Mars’ “Cha Cha Cha” is track 2 on his fourth solo studio album The Romantic, which officially dropped on February 27. Produced by Bruno Mars and D’Mile, it’s a funky, dance-floor-ready banger channeling ’70s Philly soul vibes (with nods to The O’Jays’ “Back Stabbers”) mixed with a clever interpolation of Juvenile’s 2003 hit “Slow Motion.”
The song’s all about that irresistible attraction, getting loose on the dancefloor, spending money, and turning up the night—pure feel-good energy with lush strings, tapping drums, and Bruno’s signature silky vocals over a groove that builds to disco ecstasy.
Cha Cha Cha Bruno Mars Lyrics
You got me drinkin’, spendin’ my money
Got my lemon pepper steppers on, ooh, girl, you in trouble tonight
Uh, I feel like dancin’ (I feel like dancin’)
Little mama, you turn me on (Little mama, you turn me on)
Move your body right here, just a little closer next to mine, uh
Come on and cha-cha-cha with me
And I’ma cha-cha-cha with you tonight
Uh, I like it like that, she workin’ that back
I don’t know how to act, ooh-ooh-ooh
Come on and cha-cha-cha with me
And I’ma cha-cha-cha with you tonight
Uh, I like it like that, she workin’ that back
I don’t know how to act, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It’s on and poppin’, the club bouncin’ (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
There’s a party at The Pinky Ring, ooh, The Hooligans, we outside
Uh, the spotlight’s on you now (The spotlight’s on you)
Let me see what you came to do (Let me see what you came to do)
Girl, the dance floor is yours and you’re lookin’ ready to set it on fire, uh
Come on and cha-cha-cha with me
And I’ma cha-cha-cha with you tonight
Uh, I like it like that, she workin’ that back
I don’t know how to act, ooh-ooh-ooh
Come on and cha-cha-cha with me
And I’ma cha-cha-cha with you tonight
Uh, I like it like that, she workin’ that back
I don’t know how to act, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
If you’re ready, I’m ready, baby
We can do this all night
Let’s go to the moon a little later
Hope you ain’t scared to fly
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Come on and cha-cha-cha with me
And I’ma cha-cha-cha with you tonight
Uh, uh, I like it like that, she workin’ that back
I don’t know how to act, ooh-ooh-ooh
Come on and cha-cha-cha with me, yeah
And I’ma cha-cha-cha with you tonight, yeah
Uh, uh, I like it like that, she workin’ that back
I don’t know how to act, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Uh
