Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mars moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to pursue a musical career. In 2009, he co-founded the production team The Smeezingtons, responsible for various successful singles for Mars himself and other artists. He rose to fame in 2010 buoyed by the success of "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy, both of which featured his vocals. That year, Mars released his debut studio album Doo-Wops & Hooligans, which blended pop with reggae pop and R&B. It spawned the international number-one singles "Just the Way You Are", "Grenade", and "The Lazy Song". Drawing inspiration from disco, funk, rock, reggae and soul genres, his second studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), was his first number one on the Billboard 200. It amassed two Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits, "Locked Out of Heaven" and "When I Was Your Man".
In 2014, Mars was featured on Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk", which topped various music charts, spending a total of fourteen and seven weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, respectively. Mars's third studio album, the R&B-focused, 24K Magic (2016), received seven Grammy Awards, winning the major categories of Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. The album also yielded the top-five singles "24K Magic", "That's What I Like", his seventh Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, and a remix of "Finesse" featuring Cardi B. In 2021, Mars collaborated with Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic on the full-length album An Evening with Silk Sonic, whose single "Leave the Door Open" topped the Billboard Hot 100.
Mars has sold over 130 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He has released eight number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 since his career launched in 2010, attaining his first five faster than any male artist since Elvis Presley. Mars became the first artist to receive five diamond certified songs in the United States. He was included in Music Week and Billboard magazine as one of the best songwriters of 2011 and 2013, respectively. Mars has received several awards and nominations, including 11 Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, nine American Music Awards, 10 Soul Train Awards and holds three Guinness world records. He appeared in Time magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2011, Forbes magazine's list of "30 Under 30" in 2013, and Forbes's Celebrity 100 in 2014, 2018, and 2019.

Damn, I don't even know who I was last night

The song "After Last Night" by Bruno Mars is an R&B track that tells the story of a man who has woken up after a night of passion and is now trying to process his feelings for the woman he was with. The opening lines show him being unsure about his identity after losing himself in the moment. The chorus is the most significant part of the song, as it reveals that the character is now in love with his partner, which is a stark contrast to how he was feeling before. He is struggling to forget the passionate night and is desperate to see her again.
The second verse adds a more eccentric element to the song, with the character throwing his phone out of the window to show he's fully committed to this woman. The mood is melancholic as the character is leaving behind his old life to be with her. This feeling is reinforced in the bridge, where the character offers his partner everything he has, from cars, clothes to diamonds and gold, on a silver platter if only she stays with him.
In conclusion, the song takes the listener through a journey of feelings and emotions of a character who wants to leave his old habits and start anew with his partner, after experiencing something unique and special with her.

@@realovio It's 9 songs, just got 4 of them released beforehand, I'm pretty sure you already know that but you aren't too happy about how short it is. However, I'd refer to it as a quality > quantity situation where 9 absolute bangers is better than 15+ okayish songs. It also follows similar styles of the era they are inspired by, which commonly released albums that were made up of 7-9 songs
