Bruno Mars’ Upcoming Album: Release Date, Tracklist & Star-Studded Collaborations Revealed

Bruno Mars has officially ushered in a new era with the surprise release of his fourth solo studio project, “The Romantic,” which arrived on Atlantic Records at midnight on 27 February 2026. The nine-song set ends a decade-long wait for a Bruno Mars new album, following 2016’s multi-Grammy-winning “24K Magic.” Led by the chart-topping single “I Just Might,” the LP reunites Mars with frequent collaborator D’Mile, who co-produced every track. Songwriters James Fauntleroy, Brody Brown and Philip Lawrence also contribute, adding familiar Silk Sonic chemistry to the mix. Early fan favorites include the Latin-leaning “Cha Cha Cha” and the slow-burn ballad “Why You Wanna Fight?”—both primed for social-media dance challenges and TikTok virality. Full tracklist: 1. Risk It All 2. Cha Cha Cha 3. I Just Might 4. God Was Showing Off 5. Why You Wanna Fight? 6. On My Soul 7. Something Serious 8. Nothing Left 9. Dance With Me Industry buzz is already translating into record-breaking metrics. “I Just Might” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, cementing Mars as only the second male soloist with 10 career No. 1 debuts. Streaming platforms report the single surpassed 30 million global plays in its first 24 hours, while Spotify listeners for Mars surpassed 155 million—an all-time platform high. To amplify the rollout, Mars will launch The Romantic Tour on 10 April in Las Vegas before hitting 70 stadiums across North America and Europe, with Anderson .Paak, RAYE, Victoria Monét and Leon Thomas appearing on select dates. Exclusive pink-vinyl editions and limited-edition merch bundles are available now on BrunoMars.com, with pre-orders already trending in the top spot at major retailers. “The Romantic” showcases Mars’ signature fusion of retro soul, funk and contemporary pop, but layers in Latin percussion and gospel-inspired harmonies that hint at fresh creative territory. Early critical reaction highlights the album’s tight 31-minute runtime and “summer all year” vibe, positioning the project as a front-runner for 2027 Grammy consideration. Fans can stream “The Romantic” on all major DSPs or purchase physical copies through Mars’ official store and participating indie record shops. With infectious hooks, a global stadium trek and a slate of Diamond certifications already under his belt, Bruno Mars’ new album signals that the hit-maker’s golden streak shows no sign of slowing down.
