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.
Her World Goes On
Bruno Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep thinking about her but i know i can't stay
She haunts me like a nightmare her image is everywhere
She doesn't leave me alone
I can't escape her or erase her
When i know she's not coming home
I can't understand where i went wrong
I don't know where i belong
My world is over
When life goes on (her world goes on) and on and on
(her world goes on)
When life goes on (her world goes on) and on and on
(my world is gone)
Am i crazy or just human
Is this what heartbreak is
What should i be doing
It feels like i got seconds to live
She haunts me like a nightmare her image is everywhere
She doesn't leave me alone
I can't escape her or erase her
When i know she's not coming home
I can't understand where i went wrong
I can't understand where her love has gone
I don't know where i belong
My world is over
When life goes on (her world goes on) and on and on
(her world goes on)
When life goes on (her world goes on) and on and on
(my world is gone)
My world is over while her world goes on
(.. i don't know where i belong
My world is over)
When life goes on (her world goes on) and on and on
(her world goes on)
When life goes on (her world goes on) and on and on
(my world is gone)
The lyrics of Bruno Mars' "Her World Goes On" explore the pain and confusion that come with heartbreak. The singer is trapped in his thoughts about a woman whom he can't stay with and who haunts him like a nightmare. He feels like he has seconds to live and can't escape her image, even though he knows that she's not coming back. He can't make sense of why things went wrong or where her love for him went. He's lost and doesn't know where he belongs, as his world has come to an end, while hers continues on.
The emotion and imagery in this song are powerful and relatable, as many people have experienced heartbreak and the feeling of being unable to move on from a former love. The repetition of the phrase "when life goes on and on and on, her world goes on" emphasizes the feeling of being left behind, as the world continues to rotate even though the singer feels as though his life has fallen apart. The lyrics also highlight the idea that heartbreak is a universal human experience, as the singer questions whether he's crazy or just going through something that everyone goes through.
