Marry You

Bruno Mars drove a yellow convertible through the streets of Los Angeles in a music video that turned a simple question into a global anthem. The clip, directed by Ray Kay and starring Blake Lively, captures a spontaneous moment where Mars tries to convince his date to skip a boring wedding and get married on the spot instead. This visual narrative perfectly matched the song's impulsive energy, which describes meeting someone at a bar and deciding immediately to tie the knot.

Although Doo-Wops & Hooligans dropped in October 2010 with this track as its sixth song, Atlantic Records hesitated to push it as a lead single in the United States. Executives feared the theme was too similar to other wedding songs flooding the market at the time. The team eventually released it anyway in August 2011, and it became one of Mars' most recognizable hits despite peaking at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100. [edit]
