Single Review: Bruno Mars - Grenade

Bruno Mars

Release date

Out now!

What's it like?

Bruno Mars is back with the second single from his album Doo-wops & Hooligans, and it's a heart-breaking R'n'B ballad.

It's pretty different from his last hit, Just The Way You Are, a song so schmoozy it left us feeling… well, a little bit sick.

On Grenade, a lovesick Bruno is still crooning, but his love no longer feels the same. Poor Bruno. The song has more punch than Just The Way You Are and background beats keep the pace up, building up to an epic chorus.

Will you still be humming it next week?

Yes, especially if you're a bit of a romantic.

Will it make the charts?

Yes! It's gone straight to the top!

"This song is amazing! I play it all the time and I know all the words."

Dan, 9, Wales

"I really do love the song Grenade by Bruno Mars, however, throughout the whole song it seems like he's crying about how he'd do anything for his girl. In the end, it gets kind of boring! Not really the song for me!"
