Bruno Mars has released the first single from his long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic, officially ushering in his next era. The new track, “I Just Might,” is available now via Atlantic Records and arrives alongside an official music video co-directed by Mars and longtime collaborator Daniel Ramos. The album is set for global release on 27 February.
“I Just Might” offers an early glimpse into The Romantic, Mars’ first solo studio album since 2016’s 24K Magic. The single follows the recent announcement of The Romantic Tour, marking his first full headline tour in nearly a decade. Produced by Live Nation, the 2026 tour will also be Mars’ first full-scale stadium run as a headlining artist.
Spanning nearly 40 dates across North America, Europe and the UK, the tour is shaping up to be one of the biggest global outings of the year. It launches on Friday, 10 April, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and will bring Mars’ high-energy performances to major cities including Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Denver and Miami. Several stops will feature multiple nights at major venues, with back-to-back shows planned at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Wembley Stadium in London, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Mars will be joined on all dates by nine-time Grammy Award winner Anderson .Paak, performing as DJ Pee .Wee. Select shows will also feature support from Victoria Monét, RAYE and Leon Thomas.
The tour builds on a period of exceptional live success for Mars. In recent years, he has delivered an acclaimed Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM and completed extensive international touring across Australia, Asia, the Middle East and South America. In early 2024, Mars became the first international artist of the 21st century to perform seven consecutive sold-out concerts at the Tokyo Dome.
Later that year, he set a new benchmark with the highest-grossing tour in Brazilian history, playing 14 sold-out stadium shows across five cities. In August 2024, Mars also opened Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome with two sold-out performances, one of which featured a surprise on-stage duet with Lady Gaga for the first live performance of their collaboration “Die With a Smile.”
Mars continues to dominate the charts as well. “Die With a Smile” became the fastest song in Spotify history to reach one billion streams and topped the Billboard Global 200 for a record-tying 18 weeks. His collaboration with ROSÉ, “APT.,” was named Apple Music’s most globally streamed song of 2025. With The Romantic and its accompanying tour, Mars further cements his place as one of the most influential figures in contemporary pop music.
