Global superstar Bruno Mars has released his first solo single in nearly ten years, titled “I Just Might,” heralding the arrival of his long-awaited new album.

The party anthem, accompanied by a vibrant music video, was released on Friday, January 9, 2026. Mars announced the drop on Instagram with the caption, “It’s party time!” adding, “The self proclaimed Aura Lord is Back.”

The video, co-directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos, features the singer in a green suit leading a band of his own lookalikes, channeling a retro disco vibe reminiscent of Leo Sayer’s classic “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing.”

Fan reaction online has been overwhelmingly positive, with comments praising the track as “absolutely CINEMA” and declaring Mars “allergic to making bad songs.”

“I Just Might” is the lead single for The Romantic, Mars’ first solo album in nearly a decade, set for release on February 27, 2026. His last solo album was the Grammy-winning 24K Magic in 2016. In the interim, he collaborated with Anderson .Paak on the 2021 project An Evening With Silk Sonic and released hit singles with Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK’s Rosé.

To support the album, Mars will embark on The Romantic Tour, his first global stadium tour. It kicks off in Las Vegas on April 10, with dates across North America and Europe. Support acts on various dates will include Anderson .Paak (as DJ Pee.Wee), RAYE, Victoria Monét, and Leon Thomas.26.
