Although it hits a somber note, the overarching theme is that he hopes that wherever she is, whoever she is with, that she is happy. The song’s intended target was apparently a woman, but the song itself never explicitly points to whom that may be.
“When I Was Your Man,” was the complete opposite of that mentality, straying deep into the darker territory of his usual themes, dealing with the emotional strain of a breakup caused by his own inability to provide the care and attention that a relationship required. This is an idea in line with Mars’ desire to keep the music simple and without unnecessary twists. Much of Mars’ body of work has involved themes of love, romance, or intimacy, but most of it was packaged for an uplifting or positivity-infused delivery. One song that definitely had a subject in mind, however, was his 2013 single “When I Was Your Man,” an emotional and sorrowful ballad that was a departure from the usual feel-good affair. #BrunoMarsFact "Just The Way You Are" was written for Chanel Malvar, Bruno's ex.- No Name Is My Game August 2, 2011ĭue to the fact that Mars has never expressly stated that it was about her, it’s just speculation, and perhaps the lyrics in the song were simply a reflection of the fact that he was in a good place in his relationship at that time. He does a deep dive into the root of the lyrics, how they come “directly from the heart,” and have no delusions of weaving a complex narrative. Mars himself verifies that idea when speaking about the song’s lyricism during an interview. While everything about the lyrics makes them appear laser pointed and focused on one individual, with a lot of direct language like “your,” and “her,” the song isn’t as much of a sonnet dedicated to one person as it is a love letter to women in general. On the other hand, considering his fiery and passionate attitude, being able to represent those kinds of feelings through his music is just second nature to him. With a song that speaks so directly from the heart, it’s hard to imagine that Mars didn’t have a special someone in mind when he wrote it.
On the topic of songwriting, Mars has expressed his appreciation of similarly ‘straight to the point’ songs.
