2 months ago 7

Remember when “Right Round” was inescapable? Or when “Forget You” became the clean version you belted out in every car ride, every party, every dorm room pregame? What about “Wavin’ Flag” soundtracking an entire World Cup summer?

Here’s the thing: Bruno Mars was behind all of those throwback songs. And you probably had no clue.

Before he became one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, Bruno Mars was quietly shaping the soundtrack of the late 2000s and early 2010s — writing and producing hits for other artists that defined an entire generation’s formative years.

If you came of age during that era, this is about to be one of those satisfying “wait, WHAT?” moments you’ll want to text your group chat about immediately.
