I love Bruno’s falsetto on any track but Paak’s voice is so raspy and sexy at the same time. His vocals are shining on this song. OMG, it’s fire!!! I love Silk Sonic.
Bruno is known for belting extremely high notes with his chest voice. He doesn’t even need to use his falsetto most of the time although he utilizes it beautifully on this song.
I am amazed by how high he can go in chest voice. I am wondering if the F and G at 3:32 are sung in chest voice? Because you can tell it comes from the chest but it's soooo high! Some of those notes are the highest I can sing in head voice lol.
@@maxencec172 I would probably say those voices are in head voice. The stuff at 3:27 sounds like mixed voice. His head voice is so focused I wouldn't be surprised if he always uses a slight mix, even in his more falsetto-y stuff. Thinking like 90%/10%
I’m professional bass player with 30 years of experience. I’m so proud of Bruno and Anderson. Silk Sonic is not a collaboration. This is a group of young musical geniuses that know their craft, they are doing what they always wanted, in my opinion this is the best group since Earth Wing and Fire. Thank you., real music with heart and passion. Outstanding.
Rafael Gonzalez...Say it louder for the people in the back...THIS...Is absolutely true music. I've missed it for years. Yes, Earth, Wind and Fire, Rick James and Tina Marie, Roberta and Donny. Shut up and keep on talkin Sir!!!!
I LOVE your comment. Couldn't agree more. My heart explodes and melts at the same time, when I listen to this music. 💥 E,W&F has also been my favorite group for all time. (I am an (ex-)musician too.)
I think this is the most intense song in the album. Hits a chord in my heart. Bruno showing he can still hit those high notes. Would make a great piece for singing competitions.
People are giving both their credit so please stop whining. This project wouldn't be what it is without Anderson, Bruno and Dmile on production. I'm a longtime Bruno fan first, but credit goes to all. Stop being annoying .

This is my fav track on the album...BUT i dont think they get the throne this time...we needed 12 tracks! 12 would have been a perfect length album! 8 tracks (1 was an intro) is not enough in this day and musical age...dope album, but too short. BUT i've listened to in multiple times since I bought it friday, I hope other SPENT money on it and not bootlegged it! 💯
So glad that Paak got this track to really show off his vocal chops, I feel like Bruno always gets all the credit in that department but Anderson’s really grown as a singer just from this album alone
Well, Bruno has the higher range and is considered to be one of the best male vocalists currently, so that credit, you're whining about, is well deserved. However, the revelation here is how good Anderson's voice is after hearing him on Leave the Door open. That raspiness is everything and reminds me of soul singer, Bobby Womack and a few other blues singers. Both deserve credit for their vocals and mastery of their instruments on this project. And credit to Bruno and DMile on production. Kudos to all, not just one.
@@feliciasanders2066 Don’t see how my comment could be considered “whining”, but okay. Also when did I say that Bruno didn’t deserve credit? Obviously he’s the superior vocalist. I was saying that Paak doesn’t get enough credit
This one is insane. I’m so proud that I’ve been following Bruno’s since day 1. Bruno you’re a fucking genius and Anderson you’re incredible as well. Thank y’all for ressuscitating the music industry by giving us ONLY GOOD MUSIC. I love you so much.
I don’t know how they decided to do an album together, but rarely do you come upon two voices that truly sounds MAGICAL together. It’s perfection. This song especially was a whole experience, you know the song is good when it takes you on a journey and you feel every emotion. Every part of this whole album is masterful.
Finally, a ballad! That's what that era was known for. Loved the dramatic strings to start us off. This reminds me of Curtis Mayfield or moreso even Smokey Robinson...this sounds like Motown. This all sounds so familiar, like I could even predict where some of those notes were headed. Bruno's high note runs are exceedingly beautiful. But that bait-and-switch at 3:26 is heavenly. Anderson's voice and drum fills bring the old, and mesh well with Bruno's voice which sound new I'm only sad that they didn't end it on a triumphant note at the end. The conflict remains unresolved, ending in that sad minor chord. Bitter-sweet indeed. Definitely the best track on the album. Song of the year for me
Bruno is a once in a lifetime talent.. You can’t compare him to anybody. He’s the first, the one and only Bruno Mars. Period! I’m glad he introduced some of us to the talented, incredible Anderson .Paak!
Bro, Paak been around for YEARS. And Bruno switched his style from when he came out. That's record labels and production crew. He wasn't all swaggy back then, he was a crybaby love ballad singer. If anything, Paak's presence gives that lil man some credit with the black folks. I don't expect many to understand that sentiment though.
Bruno is Super Silk, Anderson Paak is Super Sonic. They are not from this planet cause Bruno is from Mars and Anderson Paak from heavenly Stars. ❤️❤️ Love you Bruno. Love your songs, Love the creativity you bring. You bring smile on everyone's face. Congratulations to you and your band. 🙏🙏
Tracks like this take us way back to an era when music made the hairs on your arms stand up. Proper ol skool stuff. He is so so talented. Long may he reign.
Chills indeed! Bruno and Anderson shining so bright ... also demonstrates the huge void in terms of music with ol skool lyrics, melody and musicianship, it's been gone too long!
Going back, listening to their interviews, its amazing that BABYFACE made Bruno hit these notes. He didn't think he can, but Babyface gave him the confidence. I love this!
I had to remind myself to breathe....both lyrically and musically, you get so caught up in EVERYTHING : the pain and frustration, then joy and elation, only to be back in the alley gutter dejected in sorrow. That drum rip into Bruno's balladeering though! I gotta say, it is a pleasure to be musically tortured the way Silk Sonic does so; the arrangements, compositions, song writing, phrasing, (and of course dancing) is incomparable and out of this world! What I appreciate most is that they are raising the bar to how we think of albums, that they are an audible storyboard for artists. Instant gratification keeps us feeding on single track soundbites rather than trying to digest a whole audio voyage like these cats are taking us on. I like that they are challenging other artists to approach their music in that fashion. Other artists like Mayer Hawthorne and Tuxedo have been diving into the Motown/RnB revitalization for several years now and Silk Sonic is giving their rendition and giving song writing/composition new meaning. Much Mahalo to Anderson and Bruno for the gift of their musical aloha; I don't think I can do enough to deserve their musicianship.... (cue riotous standing ovation)
My brother or sister(respectfully) you hit the nail on the head, this song is soul piercing with not only vocals and lyrics but the aura of the instruments just bring you to a place where you feel everything. SHEESH🤦🏿♂️
@@akiraholland457 ^^^ nostalgia goggles make people feel like old music is somehow worth more. It's not. There's always been bad, ok, and great music. And taste is super subjective. Plenty of great music, especially from us young people if you go searching.
Bruno’s vocals are crazy. He is singing high then takes it up again amazing. Andy killing those drums. Background vocals on point. Wow ole school vibes in the house. Y’all did dis album and wasn’t playin.
If you guys vibe with this silk sonic sound I would recommend trying to listen to the slowed and reverb version you'll love it:😎 ua-cam.com/video/xxENBCtdw3U/v-deo.html
Babyface actually reccomended bruno mars to do that. He called babyface to come to the studio and listen to the track and babyface reccomended that they modulate or go even higher despite them already singing high asf. Without babyface this song wouldn't be as good as it already was.
This song is truly special. You can feel their feelings as they sing. So much passion in their voices. This song makes me cry from the pain they portray in their voices, and from the journey they take us on in the music. It's so beautiful. Anderson did a masterful job ( gods would say it was God tier level) and Bruno just kept doing what he does with his insanely angelic voice and range. This song is the real gem among gems in the album.
Bruno doesn't miss. This guy is truly a part of the old guard. He's cut from a different cloth. He feels like a real star. Staying power. Shout out to Paak!
facts btw i know some of you guys hate self promoters, but if you're really interested to check my song called end of the day out, i'd be glad tho. thank you :)
I've seen a lot of reactions to this song and 3:26 always seems to cause the reactors to turn quiet as if they can feel the longing pain that bruno mars expresses on this part. 10/10 my favorite song of the album.
Fun fact: Babyface told Bruno to do this. Andy was already dying with the high notes but then Babyface told them to take it higher, Bruno did his best, this is the highest song he's ever made (yet). And the end result is eargasm!
So they went from telling the girl they’d “Leave The Door Open” for her, to taking her on a “Skate” date. After some time they were “Smokin Out The Window” of their car after a breakup, which led to sending her ‘back to the city’. Now they’re trying to “Put On A Smile” while trying not to cry from dealing with the breakup. Their entire album seems to be a story from start to finish, and I’m here for it.
I so miss concept albums. The best listen is from the beginning to the end, but, I promise, I listened to this one several times in a row. Kept hitting repeat.
This is the one. I was waiting for that pure Motown vibe and this songs delivers the goods. I was waiting for Bruno's vocal to take over and this song does it for me. Paak compliments him so well. Pure and raw emotion from both Bruno and Paak. This album needed this song. The hit it out the park!
Lyrics😫😫 Intro: Bootsy Collins & Bruno Mars] Oh, lookie here fellas Take it from your Uncle Bootsy Ain't no shame beggin' in the rain Tell her how you really feel Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh [Verse 1: Anderson .Paak] I could pretend when I'm out with my friends I ain't thinkin' about you I could pretend like I ain't in my feelings But that ain't true, nah (Nah) When I called you out your name That was my ego, my pride, and pain I should be a movie star The way I play the part like everything's okay [Pre-Chorus: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak] Oh, now I try to be the life of the party All night, buying shots for everybody But it's all just an act (Yeah) 'cause I can't have you back (Yeah) Without you, I've been goin' crazy [Chorus: Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak & Both] Tryna put on a smile (Put on a smile) Tryna fight these tears from cryin' But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin' Tryna put on a smile, smile (Put on a smile) Ooh, I'm just smilin' like a fool When the only thing worth smilin' for Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was You, you, you You, you, you, you, you You [Verse 2: Anderson .Paak] If I could turn back the hands on my Rollie, you know I would I would've spent all my time makin' sure that my baby good I'm tryin' hard to hide the shame I know I'm playin' a dangerous game But since you been gone, I ain't been the same There's only so much a man can fake [Pre-Chorus: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak] Oh, now I try to be the life of the party All night, buying shots for everybody But it's all just an act (Yeah) 'cause I can't have you back (Yeah) Without you, I've been goin' crazy [Chorus: Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak & Both] Tryna put on a smile (Put on a smile) Tryna fight these tears from cryin' But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin' Tryna put on a smile, smile (Put on a smile) Ooh, I'm just smilin' like a fool When the only thing worth smilin' for Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for When the only thing worth smilin' for Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was You, you, you I'm tryna put on a smile (Put on a smile) Oh-oh, tryna fight these tears from cryin' But Lord knows I'm dyin' (Put on a smile) I'm smilin' like a fool When the only thing worth smilin' for Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for When the only thing worth smilin' for Oh, the only thing worth smilin' for was You, you, you You, you, you, you, you
This song makes me feel like a child. It reminds me of the music my parents and grandparents would play. Such as Earth Wind and Fire and the Temptations. Good stuff. Makes my heart smile to show music like this to my son he’s only 3 but he’ll know. 🖤
Even though this music is considered new, it instantly takes me back to my childhood in the 70's when Motown and Philly Soul music were always playing in the background at my house.
@@westendgirl444 that’s awesome! I love how music can just take you back to a time that feels like a warm hug or the sun on your cheeks! It’s such a great feeling. 💫 🤍
This is the type of music we need nowadays. We need creators like Bruno and Anderson who pour their souls into their craft. That's what's missing nowadays.
I just listen to this on repeat. Bruno’s voice towards the end is soul crushing. You can hear the emotions as he literally croons high and then goes higher in his vocals. It just literally takes my breath away. It leaves me speechless. I’m not even in a relationship and this song just makes me want to cry. It’s that good. Bravo Silk Sonic. The whole album is fire. As far as the fans go, you two already won the Grammy of Kings in our hearts. I think Michael Jackson would have been proud. Bruno gives me MJ vibes when he was young.
They would do it if they could, but several artists are stucked with a contract saying something like : we pay you 5 millions (an exemple) but you MUST produce 3 albums in a raw with tour, interviews, and we release funds only if you have 5 hits...etc...and they work as if they go to the factory.
Musical genius here, brilliant songcraft, simple lyrics that speak to everyone, mix of 2 damn voices, orchestral and singing perfection, this is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my whole lifetime.
Incredible album. The essence of 70’s Soul & Funk is captured perfectly and having Bootsy Collins host? Genius 👌🏾You can tell everyone involved in the making of this project had fun. Definitely worth the wait 🔥🔥🔥 This album is going to be on heavy rotation for a long time.
Underlooked? His last album only won a ton of Grammys and they are still playing his old music at corporate office parties and weddings and u can't get a ticket to a concert because they sell out in hrs
@@cadanmartin7798 ok how is he underlooked ? Seriously? with his body of work and the way he charted? And the awards ? And the tours?? How is that underlooked?
@@anthonytaylor7928 what you’re saying is to do with underrated. I am talking about him being under looked as a musician from a musician point of view. When you ask a singer, guitarist, drummer, or any musician, Unless they are close relative of Bruno, you’ll never hear someone say they look up to Bruno from a musician point of view. Unless you’re a musician you won’t understand what I am saying. Bruno is not underrated by any point but however, he isn’t really looked up to by other musicians as something they want to follow. Most guitarist look up to people like BB King Etc Etc, most drummers looks up to people like John Bonham Etc Etc. Being underrated and under looked are different. Back to my point about how everyone knows who Bruno is (not underrated) but very few musicians look up to him (under looked).
Sounds like the good “old school” music my parents would dance to after a disagreement. Daddy always said it’s something about good music. Loving everything they do.
No wonder this song has been on repeat...it speaks to my soul. Not heartbreak but battling depression: putting up a brave front, acting/faking, dying on the inside (On the road to recovery, trying to find that spark again and belting this song definitely helps)
I pray that you get healed soon. Indeed it's hard but please keep pushing forward . And one day you'll look back and be proud that you didn't give up. May God bless you😊
This is the best song on the album. Think about that. Every song on this album is a banger. There are NO SKIPS. Even then, put on a smile is at the top
@@JoeyLeBlancMusic same here! and even then, i still don't come close to replicating the same power and emotion that bruno has. he's just on another planet lmao
@@ryvnz Hence the name “Mars” he literally said in an interview that he names himself that because he wanted to be a singer that was “out of this planet”
If this were an NBA, fifa, or an nfl videogame but about singing; just for fun, how would you rate Bruno Mars and The Weeknd? I'd give 94 to Bruno and 93 to The Weeknd. Name any singer you want and their generals (Whitney's like 99 on her prime)
I swear, both Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak make this album great. The smoothness of Bruno’s voice and the pure grit from Anderson Paak. They’re both amazing, that’s all I gotta say. 😌👌
Aw could these comments just stop it I'm a huge Bruno Mars fan but this is not a recent resurgence of this kinda music . Artists like Kem . Anthony Hamilton . Leela James have been putting this music out as of recent but have not gotten the commercial appeal that's all
To me, this song is the best of this album, an instant classic, great production and such a well balanced and blended soul ballad by two of great artists. I would love to this one live at some point.
This is what many songs sounded like in the 70s. It's refreshing to hear this sound again. Got me thinking about all the family members and friends who are no longer here that would've loved this. Thank you silk sonic. This was needed.
This is hands down my stand out track. We get Enchantment and Delfonics vibes here in spades. Most men can relate to being broken-hearted yet doing all they can to hide what is really going on inside. This track with its sad and somehow delightful chords pull on ones heartstrings as both Anderson.Paak and Bruno Mars croon in authentic vulnerable fashion. The production is layered and voluminous. You can tell a lot of time and effort went into the creation of this masterpiece. Songwriter extraordinaire Babyface is listed as one of the background vocalist, and my ears can't argue with that. This track builds like a hurricane gaining strength in the Gulf of Mexico. AP gives us an incredible raspy Sugerfoot (Ohio Players) type vibe here, and BM is again stellar crooning powerful high notes like Bobby De'Barge (Switch) in some instances here. Musically this is an extraordinarily soul touching song. The drum work by AP toward the latter part of this song is bananas. This is no doubt my favorite on the album - just remarkable attention to detail production-wise.
Those drums are amazing and the drums are crying with that soul. This song is perfection. With funk, soul and the places these guys both took their voices. Amazing
I woke up to seeing this and couldn’t wait to listen. This is going to be the album of the century. This quality of work comes once in a lifetime and it’s timeless. Everything you all touch turns to gold literally. It’s really unreal in this day and time hearing pieces of art this sincere and genuine from beginning to end.
This song takes my breath away. When Bruno hit that high note, something goes through my body. I love , love the album. Best music by two of the most talented and gifted men...... Bruno/Anderson!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Whenever I hear Bruno wail that "you" on the key change my pores raise and I feel like crying! Contemporary music hasn't done that to me in ages. I'll never stop thanking these brothers for this incredible musical gift...this love letter to humanity as we emerge from another period of darkness.
I love Bruno’s falsetto on any track but Paak’s voice is so raspy and sexy at the same time. His vocals are shining on this song. OMG, it’s fire!!! I love Silk Sonic.
Bruno is known for belting extremely high notes with his chest voice. He doesn’t even need to use his falsetto most of the time although he utilizes it beautifully on this song.
The best vocals we will hear in years
❤️
Yesss 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏together 💥
his falsetto put an end to world hunger and raised my grades TREMENDOUSLY
Bruno just chested high C on "Smile" 3:16 is one of the purest notes I've heard in a long time
His range is actually insane. His mixed voice is just incredible
No kidding..and "I'm dying" at 3:27... just 👏
The High D at 3:27, though. He's insane.
I am amazed by how high he can go in chest voice. I am wondering if the F and G at 3:32 are sung in chest voice? Because you can tell it comes from the chest but it's soooo high!
Some of those notes are the highest I can sing in head voice lol.

I think this is the most intense song in the album. Hits a chord in my heart. Bruno showing he can still hit those high notes. Would make a great piece for singing competitions.
I loved 3:52 when it gets all dark and with the rain and thunder
The BEST one !! Although they are ALL Awesome !!!!
My goal as an aspiring singer is to hit a note like that, but I'm not there yet. Closer than I've ever been though!
*3:32** is the most replayed, I understand why. This whole album is exceptionally done. Bravo!*
I didn’t think they could top the singles they already released, but this song is now my favourite song of the year!

Silk Sonic just produces magic! This might be the first time I love every song on a album!

Tracks like this take us way back to an era when music made the hairs on your arms stand up. Proper ol skool stuff. He is so so talented. Long may he reign.
It definitely gave me chills just love it !!!

Going back, listening to their interviews, its amazing that BABYFACE made Bruno hit these notes. He didn't think he can, but Babyface gave him the confidence. I love this!
Oh yes. We'll hook up those piano parts stat.

I'd be completely here for it.
Yes please, you guys are amazing together 💘💘💘
Can we please starr a petition seriously. I'm down bruh.
Since the release of Silk sonic, I think Bruno has become the world's best vocalist in history
I had to remind myself to breathe....both lyrically and musically, you get so caught up in EVERYTHING : the pain and frustration, then joy and elation, only to be back in the alley gutter dejected in sorrow.
That drum rip into Bruno's balladeering though! I gotta say, it is a pleasure to be musically tortured the way Silk Sonic does so; the arrangements, compositions, song writing, phrasing, (and of course dancing) is incomparable and out of this world!
What I appreciate most is that they are raising the bar to how we think of albums, that they are an audible storyboard for artists. Instant gratification keeps us feeding on single track soundbites rather than trying to digest a whole audio voyage like these cats are taking us on. I like that they are challenging other artists to approach their music in that fashion.
Other artists like Mayer Hawthorne and Tuxedo have been diving into the Motown/RnB revitalization for several years now and Silk Sonic is giving their rendition and giving song writing/composition new meaning. Much Mahalo to Anderson and Bruno for the gift of their musical aloha; I don't think I can do enough to deserve their musicianship.... (cue riotous standing ovation)
My brother or sister(respectfully) you hit the nail on the head, this song is soul piercing with not only vocals and lyrics but the aura of the instruments just bring you to a place where you feel everything. SHEESH🤦🏿♂️
Totally agree. I hope more people get into groups like Tuxedo and Durand Jones because of Silk Sonic. Thank god for these dudes.
They are the master musicians of their time! Their music and lyrics are from an era where musicians created original thoughts and tunes.
This is what's missing from today's music. Some actual soul. I'm not just talking bout soul music. I mean music where you could feel it.
This is bullshit. There are a lot of music that makes you feel something
@@akiraholland457 ikr
@@akiraholland457 ^^^ nostalgia goggles make people feel like old music is somehow worth more. It's not. There's always been bad, ok, and great music. And taste is super subjective. Plenty of great music, especially from us young people if you go searching.
@@akiraholland457 Hmmm.. lemme guess? Crappy songs about drugs and horny people? Thats what I thought.
@@akiraholland457 I'm curious to know what your favorite type of music that makes you feel something 🧐
Bruno’s vocals are crazy. He is singing high then takes it up again amazing. Andy killing those drums. Background vocals on point. Wow ole school vibes in the house. Y’all did dis album and wasn’t playin.
If you guys vibe with this silk sonic sound I would recommend trying to listen to the slowed and reverb version you'll love it:😎 ua-cam.com/video/xxENBCtdw3U/v-deo.html
Babyface actually reccomended bruno mars to do that. He called babyface to come to the studio and listen to the track and babyface reccomended that they modulate or go even higher despite them already singing high asf. Without babyface this song wouldn't be as good as it already was.
@yahudah yisrael huh?
This song is truly special. You can feel their feelings as they sing. So much passion in their voices. This song makes me cry from the pain they portray in their voices, and from the journey they take us on in the music. It's so beautiful. Anderson did a masterful job ( gods would say it was God tier level) and Bruno just kept doing what he does with his insanely angelic voice and range. This song is the real gem among gems in the album.
Bruno doesn't miss. This guy is truly a part of the old guard. He's cut from a different cloth. He feels like a real star. Staying power. Shout out to Paak!
Agree 100💖
Big shout for Anderson. He don’t miss either.
SILK SONIC BEST ALBUM SINCE THRILLER

The best one for me
I've seen a lot of reactions to this song and 3:26 always seems to cause the reactors to turn quiet as if they can feel the longing pain that bruno mars expresses on this part.
10/10 my favorite song of the album.
Facts! Check out my reaction to this masterpiece: ua-cam.com/video/tlZAyOlAJ7M/v-deo.html
Same 10/10
When I first heard this song,when he hit that note at 3:27, I could have thrown my phone at the tv..I was screaming, YES..lol
Fun fact: Babyface told Bruno to do this. Andy was already dying with the high notes but then Babyface told them to take it higher, Bruno did his best, this is the highest song he's ever made (yet). And the end result is eargasm!
I’m DYiNGInGGgGhGGggGgGgGHHHhHhHhhHh😫🥺
Album is great but this is one the greatest songs I’ve ever heard.
So they went from telling the girl they’d “Leave The Door Open” for her, to taking her on a “Skate” date. After some time they were “Smokin Out The Window” of their car after a breakup, which led to sending her ‘back to the city’. Now they’re trying to “Put On A Smile” while trying not to cry from dealing with the breakup. Their entire album seems to be a story from start to finish, and I’m here for it.
I so miss concept albums. The best listen is from the beginning to the end, but, I promise, I listened to this one several times in a row. Kept hitting repeat.
It's telling a complete story
I'm here for it too Aniia
They sent her 'Blasting Off" "777" thousand miles out to the stratosphere.
U ARE GENIUS FOR PUTTING IT ALTOGETHER
Perfection. Anderson starts it off with sad morose vocals. Bruno follows it up with the passionate desperation. Together it's a one two knockout.
My favorite part is at 2:26 when Bruno does that run at the end of the word smile just so beautiful
This is the one. I was waiting for that pure Motown vibe and this songs delivers the goods. I was waiting for Bruno's vocal to take over and this song does it for me. Paak compliments him so well. Pure and raw emotion from both Bruno and Paak. This album needed this song. The hit it out the park!
Lyrics😫😫
Intro: Bootsy Collins & Bruno Mars]
Oh, lookie here fellas
Take it from your Uncle Bootsy
Ain't no shame beggin' in the rain
Tell her how you really feel
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 1: Anderson .Paak]
I could pretend when I'm out with my friends
I ain't thinkin' about you
I could pretend like I ain't in my feelings
But that ain't true, nah (Nah)
When I called you out your name
That was my ego, my pride, and pain
I should be a movie star
The way I play the part like everything's okay
[Pre-Chorus: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak]
Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
All night, buying shots for everybody
But it's all just an act (Yeah) 'cause I can't have you back (Yeah)
Without you, I've been goin' crazy
[Chorus: Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak & Both]
Tryna put on a smile (Put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'
Tryna put on a smile, smile (Put on a smile)
Ooh, I'm just smilin' like a fool
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
You
[Verse 2: Anderson .Paak]
If I could turn back the hands on my Rollie, you know I would
I would've spent all my time makin' sure that my baby good
I'm tryin' hard to hide the shame
I know I'm playin' a dangerous game
But since you been gone, I ain't been the same
There's only so much a man can fake
[Pre-Chorus: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak]
Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
All night, buying shots for everybody
But it's all just an act (Yeah) 'cause I can't have you back (Yeah)
Without you, I've been goin' crazy
[Chorus: Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak & Both]
Tryna put on a smile (Put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'
Tryna put on a smile, smile (Put on a smile)
Ooh, I'm just smilin' like a fool
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You, you, you
I'm tryna put on a smile (Put on a smile)
Oh-oh, tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But Lord knows I'm dyin' (Put on a smile)
I'm smilin' like a fool
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Oh, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
After reading the comments, I am glad that the human ear has not forgotten real music. Hear A. P on those drums... Come on!!!!
yes!!!! at like 3:44 OMG amazing!!!!
This song deserves more recognition. In my books it‘s up there with Talking to the moon and When I was your man.
fr!! bruno was hitting those high notes
There is no B side on this album.
Absolute masterpiece by Silk Sonic
Why would there be a B side anyways?
You were thinking of Eminem or some one?
2:54 build up into the surprise major drop instead of a minor one as previously is chilling.
This song makes me feel like a child. It reminds me of the music my parents and grandparents would play. Such as Earth Wind and Fire and the Temptations. Good stuff. Makes my heart smile to show music like this to my son he’s only 3 but he’ll know. 🖤
Totally agree Bri
I'm one of those parents/grandparents and I agree!
Even though this music is considered new, it instantly takes me back to my childhood in the 70's when Motown and Philly Soul music were always playing in the background at my house.
@@westendgirl444 that’s awesome! I love how music can just take you back to a time that feels like a warm hug or the sun on your cheeks! It’s such a great feeling. 💫 🤍
What song this music soul Bruno Mars Anderson, Paak.
This is the type of music we need nowadays. We need creators like Bruno and Anderson who pour their souls into their craft. That's what's missing nowadays.
Love this song makes you want to stay in love
PREACH!
This is the duo the music world needed. Love the 70’s vibe they give on their songs

@@ladennayoung2939 sorry????
This song deserves to be released as a single ASAP. Bruno Mars’ massive vocal range is insane.
This is a masterpiece. It didn't only reach my heart. It touched my soul 😭😭😭😭
That song make you want to cry with him, or help him get his lady back, How could she not come back after that?
1:25 - 1:46 This part... and Bruno singing that last "you" will never not giving me goosebumps everytime I hear it, it's so good 😭😭
Same so good
one of my favorites hands down . 3:25 HIS VOCALSS 🔥🔥💯
I fell in love with this song instantly definitely felt emotion and passion of the message of the song well done Bruno and Anderson Paak

⬆️⬆️
I just listen to this on repeat. Bruno’s voice towards the end is soul crushing. You can hear the emotions as he literally croons high and then goes higher in his vocals. It just literally takes my breath away. It leaves me speechless. I’m not even in a relationship and this song just makes me want to cry. It’s that good. Bravo Silk Sonic. The whole album is fire. As far as the fans go, you two already won the Grammy of Kings in our hearts. I think Michael Jackson would have been proud. Bruno gives me MJ vibes when he was young.
I wouldn't mind artist spending a lot of time in hiatus as long as they release quality music like this. Timeless masterpiece 😍

They would do it if they could, but several artists are stucked with a contract saying something like : we pay you 5 millions (an exemple) but you MUST produce 3 albums in a raw with tour, interviews, and we release funds only if you have 5 hits...etc...and they work as if they go to the factory.
This one is the unique one from the album, sounds so classy & clean. Instantly fell in love with this.

Musical genius here, brilliant songcraft, simple lyrics that speak to everyone, mix of 2 damn voices, orchestral and singing perfection, this is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my whole lifetime.
Incredible album. The essence of 70’s Soul & Funk is captured perfectly and having Bootsy Collins host? Genius 👌🏾You can tell everyone involved in the making of this project had fun. Definitely worth the wait 🔥🔥🔥 This album is going to be on heavy rotation for a long time.
This album will be our Sunday music when we have grandchildren. So freaking calming, god! so good
I cant wait for this!

People are so quick to release music these days for clout. This is another level - talk about working on master pieces. Respect.
For real. Bruno is a master. He refuses to release anything less than excellence and I love it cuz I know it’s always worth getting excited for

I cried listening. I'm not in a relationship or anything... my situation is just so shitty and that's it. I just cried. _What a soulful song._
Bruno as a musician is extremely underlooked and yet everyone knows who he is.
Yeah did u not see his guitar solo as the prince tribute or the Apollo teather for his song calling all my lovelies.
Underlooked? His last album only won a ton of Grammys and they are still playing his old music at corporate office parties and weddings and u can't get a ticket to a concert because they sell out in hrs
@@anthonytaylor7928 I said as a musician he is under looked , not underrated. Two different things.
@@cadanmartin7798 ok how is he underlooked ? Seriously? with his body of work and the way he charted? And the awards ? And the tours?? How is that underlooked?
@@anthonytaylor7928 what you’re saying is to do with underrated. I am talking about him being under looked as a musician from a musician point of view. When you ask a singer, guitarist, drummer, or any musician, Unless they are close relative of Bruno, you’ll never hear someone say they look up to Bruno from a musician point of view. Unless you’re a musician you won’t understand what I am saying. Bruno is not underrated by any point but however, he isn’t really looked up to by other musicians as something they want to follow. Most guitarist look up to people like BB King Etc Etc, most drummers looks up to people like John Bonham Etc Etc. Being underrated and under looked are different. Back to my point about how everyone knows who Bruno is (not underrated) but very few musicians look up to him (under looked).
Sounds like the good “old school” music my parents would dance to after a disagreement. Daddy always said it’s something about good music. Loving everything they do.
it sounds amazin!
Is true and prooves good music is timeless
Best album of the century. This is what music is about. Soul and feeling.
No wonder this song has been on repeat...it speaks to my soul. Not heartbreak but battling depression: putting up a brave front, acting/faking, dying on the inside
(On the road to recovery, trying to find that spark again and belting this song definitely helps)
I hope you find your peace again my brotha. Its rough. Very rough
You got this! Let Gods love be the source thar drives change in you
I pray that you get healed soon. Indeed it's hard but please keep pushing forward . And one day you'll look back and be proud that you didn't give up. May God bless you😊
I definitely feel this one!! "Trying" 2 Put on Smile.. I laugh to keep from crying all the time...
Doing it now.. 🤣🤣🤣

I love how Silk Sonic has taken the torch to the new generation . That classic old school vibe is timeless .
Andy's drum roll is for a billion dollar lottery. Boy, did Bruno hit that jackpot! "2:48"
I bet Stokley from Mint Condition hit rewind even tho Stokley in a class by his self
This is the best song on the album. Think about that. Every song on this album is a banger. There are NO SKIPS. Even then, put on a smile is at the top
Not even on some dramatic shit but this song has almost brought me to tears multiple times lmao. That’s what soul music does, it hits you.
💯% agree, except i do cry lol
Same, thankfully my life is fine but have felt all this in the past!! Sooo good!!
As a higher Baritone… the amount of respect I have for Bruno for everything past 2:56 is phenomenal 🥺🥺
also a high baritone here, and bruno makes me feel jealousy towards tenors more than any other artist have.
@@ryvnz The last “comfortable” note for me to belt is an A4 (Bb4 on a really good day) and this man is SOARING into the 5th octave with ease 😭
@@JoeyLeBlancMusic same here! and even then, i still don't come close to replicating the same power and emotion that bruno has. he's just on another planet lmao
@@ryvnz Hence the name “Mars” he literally said in an interview that he names himself that because he wanted to be a singer that was “out of this planet”
Bruno's vocals are the best in the industry
Yes lawd!! He is gifted & talented!!
If this were an NBA, fifa, or an nfl videogame but about singing; just for fun, how would you rate Bruno Mars and The Weeknd? I'd give 94 to Bruno and 93 to The Weeknd. Name any singer you want and their generals (Whitney's like 99 on her prime)

FACTS
The testimony of a man's regret. Like "When I Was Your Man" R/B style on another level. 🤯This song makes me cry. 😭😭😭😭😭 So beautiful
Single handedly bringing back real quality music to the masses.
I swear, both Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak make this album great. The smoothness of Bruno’s voice and the pure grit from Anderson Paak. They’re both amazing, that’s all I gotta say. 😌👌
This collaboration is awesome
I'm happy that Original Quality music is being maintained by these artist . Thank you 🙏🏽
Aw could these comments just stop it I'm a huge Bruno Mars fan but this is not a recent resurgence of this kinda music . Artists like Kem . Anthony Hamilton . Leela James have been putting this music out as of recent but have not gotten the commercial appeal that's all
That's right.
To me, this song is the best of this album, an instant classic, great production and such a well balanced and blended soul ballad by two of great artists. I would love to this one live at some point.
Even on such an exceptional album, this is the outstanding song. I listen to it over and again in awe. This is musical greatness.
This is what many songs sounded like in the 70s. It's refreshing to hear this sound again. Got me thinking about all the family members and friends who are no longer here that would've loved this. Thank you silk sonic. This was needed.
This is a masterpiece, love you❤️💯

This might be the best song off the album.... Still listening...
This is hands down my stand out track. We get Enchantment and Delfonics vibes here in spades. Most men can relate to being broken-hearted yet doing all they can to hide what is really going on inside. This track with its sad and somehow delightful chords pull on ones heartstrings as both Anderson.Paak and Bruno Mars croon in authentic vulnerable fashion. The production is layered and voluminous. You can tell a lot of time and effort went into the creation of this masterpiece. Songwriter extraordinaire Babyface is listed as one of the background vocalist, and my ears can't argue with that. This track builds like a hurricane gaining strength in the Gulf of Mexico. AP gives us an incredible raspy Sugerfoot (Ohio Players) type vibe here, and BM is again stellar crooning powerful high notes like Bobby De'Barge (Switch) in some instances here. Musically this is an extraordinarily soul touching song. The drum work by AP toward the latter part of this song is bananas. This is no doubt my favorite on the album - just remarkable attention to detail production-wise.
Waiting for the next Silk Sonic album
We got to petition apparently.
You hear all the wonderful influences such as the stylistics, Marvin Gaye, the originals, the Jackson 5 and so on and so on… 💓
The music is killing it off the top, the 70s. I feel the heartache of a man really in love!🔥🎯❤

The best song of the whole album!🤎
Those drums are amazing and the drums are crying with that soul. This song is perfection. With funk, soul and the places these guys both took their voices. Amazing
I woke up to seeing this and couldn’t wait to listen. This is going to be the album of the century. This quality of work comes once in a lifetime and it’s timeless. Everything you all touch turns to gold literally. It’s really unreal in this day and time hearing pieces of art this sincere and genuine from beginning to end.
This song takes my breath away. When Bruno hit that high note, something goes through my body. I love , love the album. Best music by two of the most talented and gifted men...... Bruno/Anderson!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Whenever I hear Bruno wail that "you" on the key change my pores raise and I feel like crying! Contemporary music hasn't done that to me in ages. I'll never stop thanking these brothers for this incredible musical gift...this love letter to humanity as we emerge from another period of darkness.
This song is so underrated, leave the door open takes too much emphasis away from the rest of this album
