Bruno mars new song 🤮 can I block from Spotify??

[Roxieandthegang]

Has anyone heard this song
I heard it other other day and was so so shocked by the lyrics I nearly had a heart attack 😂
Why do mainstream artists bring out utter filth like this. I really don’t like my kids (teenage) hearing this garbage….ive listened to some garbage in my time but it’s another level and is shocking to me coming from such a popular artist.
I know everyone will be like well they will hear it on YouTube/tiktok…..but I’d really like it not to be coming up on Spotify which they listen to alot 🫣

What is the purpose of forehead money??? I'm too old for this shit. 😩

Well yuck. I suppose this is how my grandma felt when Like a Virgin came out.

There is a clean version tho

Jaysus, I thought the lyrics alone were a bag of shite. That's fucking awful. It sounds like a parody from SNL.

I googled and made it to the second verse 😲 before closing in disgust.

And believe me I am no prude, don't even own a set of pearls to clutch 🤣

Vile.

He usually is, but this is the trend at the moment and he’s hopping on it! I like it.

You win the Internet today!

If only he was singing about a slug....🤣

I love that song - but now, whenever I think about Bruno Mars, I'm just going to associate him with this nasty, stupid song instead.

I had to Google what this song was as I haven't heard it yet. Just the title of it would be enough to put me off! 😱

Men don't say titties? (Well at least not any of the men I've ever let near mine!)

Maybe he's singing about a cat bringing a slug through the cat flap?
Cats have been known to drag in random things

Mrs Slocombe would be horrified

Relax is a stone cold classic that still sounds fantastic.

This shite doesn't even have a groove. Think of some 90s r&b/gangsta rap songs which have some seriously dodgy lyrics but the songs still sound so good because of the groove, melody, hooks, bass lines, brilliant samples.

This sounds like black eyed peas trying to be BAD boys and gals.

OK, I see it's his brand new song. I have now googled the lyrics.

How the fuck has this made it off the cutting room floor? I am no prude but this is utterly vile. Proper nasty. I can't believe Bruno has gone from epic songs like Uptown Funk, Locked Out Of Heaven, Just The Way You Are, Grenade, and When I was Your Man; and cute songs like Marry You, Lazy Song, and Runaway Baby, to THIS TRASH!

As has been said, he is turning into a dirty, filthy-minded, middle aged man. What a pig. I was a fan of his. Not any more. He can get tae fuck!

I am so repulsed by him now, that if ever I met him, and he chatted me up, I would tell him to fuck off. I would NOT want to be with a man who comes out with shit like this. 😖 (Yes yes I know that's not gonna happen - him asking me out, but you know what I mean!!!)

He's got a girlfriend hasn't he? I wonder what she thinks of this monstrosity of a 'song?'

Never heard it, had to check it out I actually really like it, thanks Mumsnet!

Exactly this. ATP is our year 5's favourite song, they all sing it in class. Now this song where he's singing about how much he likes his new cat. Alexa better recognise this for the shit it I do a and ban it

just googled the lyrics out of curiosity. Fucking hell 😳

sad, pathetic and desperate for attention.

I mean, I don't like it. I actually really don't like it, and I don't generally mind explicit lyrics. Hell, I didn't switch off if WAP came on a Spotify mix even if it wasn't my favourite, it was catchy.

That said, it's not really a musician's responsibility to make PG music just because they have some young fans. The song is marked as "explicit" on Spotify and Apple Music, it'll have a parental advisory warning on physical copies; that's the extent of what I expect a musician to have to do to ensure their music doesn't reach inappropriate ears. The same with films and TV shows- if it's properly warned, they've done their part. Parents shouldn't be sending their children off to see a film rated 18, they equally should be monitoring that their young children don't have access to music which is rated explicit. I saw the same argument made about the Five Nights at Freddy's film a couple of years back; just because some young kids want to see it doesn't mean it was intended for a young audience, and it doesn't mean the creators shouldn't be able to make the horror film they had conceptualised from the start.

Bruno Mars, and Sabrina Carpenter who has also been mentioned, have always been writing music for adults. No, not all of their songs are explicit and therefore appeal to all ages, but that doesn't mean artists should be boxed in to making either exclusively adult material so only adults are likely to come across it, or exclusively child-friendly material so that young listeners are never going to hear a song about sex. I know it doesn't always make it easy, especially in the internet age, for parents to manage; but it isn't the artists' job to manage either.

I feel the same! It's tainted all of his music for me now, such a shame. I now just see him as a desperate perv.

I agree-

what on earth-I wonder if he is broke? New agent? Why?????

Seems so ill advised as I thought he was popular and had a good reputation and this is so awful that it could actually be a parody of a bad joke song on SNL or the likes.

Boo!!

It’s just a shit song generally but it’s going to be one of those horrible worm ones that gets stuck in our heads but it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever heard and it’s definitely not the dirtiest!

I detest APT. 😖

This is soooo dramatic 😂

Maybe it got through because it's a female being grim and explicit? Empowered sexuality and all that. Probably a bit less horrific than if it was a man singing his perspective but still pretty gross.
