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 🫣

Fucking hell that's bit much! It's not even good or clever. 😄

Always thought Bruno Mars was shit anyway tbh.

renthead · 27/01/2025 17:40

I just googled and couldn't even get halfway through the song lyrics 🤢 These people should be embarrassed. Absolutely cringe.

Stigsmother · 27/01/2025 17:42

Oh dear, just googled the "lyrics". Bit young for a mid-life crisis isn't he?

Nowt wrong with a bit of Mannilow.

And have they not heard the classic mannilow track of ' i want to do it with you" quite risque

This is soooo dramatic 😂

True though.

TheBoots · 27/01/2025 17:45

Take it none of you remember WAP by Cardi B, or My Neck, My Back by Khia (from 2002!!) then...

YoureNotGoingOutLikeThat · 27/01/2025 17:48

I think everyone over 40 should start playing it and singing along to it. That'll make everyone under 20 turn off.

dapsnotplimsolls · 27/01/2025 17:48

Jaysus, just looked up the lyrics. Has he regressed to a 14 year old boy?

Bloozie · 27/01/2025 17:49

Grim as.

AgathaX · 27/01/2025 17:49

Bloody hell, those lyrics are vile.

What a horrible, horrible man.

Mrsdyna · 27/01/2025 17:53

WTF is that song? What the hell is wrong with him? He sounds absolutely deranged 🤮

Runawaytrainer · 27/01/2025 15:49

What's it called?

Fat Juicy & Wet

LookItsMeAgain · 27/01/2025 17:53

I will not listen to it on purpose but it sounds to me like he wants to be cancelled in the same way that Robin Thicke was (and to a lesser degree Pharrell Williams) with their awful song from a few years back.

@septumring99 , (at 17.35.) Re your comment 'certain artists make songs for adults, so what do you expect... ' This is not just for adults, it's fucking foul and nasty. Sabrina Carpenter says 'please don't embarrass me mother fucker' on Please Please Please, and Olivia Rodriguez says 'I still fucking love you baby' in Driver's Licence, which is clearly not aimed at children... But they're not saying 'shove your c0ck up my ar$e,' 'chew my clit,' and 'get me juicy and wet as you fuck me from behind' are they?

This is out and out attention-seeking, and pathetic, with a 'let's see how filthy we can be to get attention' vibe - like that hideous WAP song. Who the fuck wants to hear about wet juicy fannies and men sticking their face in them when they're listening to music? For fuck's sake. 😂 Anyone who thinks this is just adult music needs to give their head a wobble. It's hideous! 😖

Also Bruno Mars has never done music just for adults! His music has always been mainstream and for all ages.

What the fuck is he playing at?

LessonsinChemistryandLove · 27/01/2025 17:55

The song is shit imo but this thread is hilarious. I mean it’s just a song, you don’t have to listen to it! I’m sure most of the people on this thread are not the target audience

Eww. I could kinda understand if he'd released that when he was 18 or whatever but he's pushing middle aged now. Grim. Smacks of the old perv who sits at the bar and sends underage girls drinks

Yes. And they were fucking foul as well.

Yeah this. ^ And I seriously judge anyone who thinks this song is actually OK, and 'there's nothing to see here.'

I remember being in a shit club in Kos and hearing that Khia song. 22yo me felt the same way about it as I do about WAP and this BM pish.

They are all designed to outrage (so effective in that respect) but utterly vulgar, unnecessary, lacking in any class and devoid of any talent.

IsEveryUserNameBloodyTaken · 27/01/2025 17:58

Fucking hell.
Is he having some kind of breakdown or something.

ThatRareUmberJoker · 27/01/2025 17:59

ThreeCheersFor5Years · 27/01/2025 17:28

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

It's going to be a hit this summer I can see babies being made on the back of this song.

SwerveCity · 27/01/2025 17:59

Gross

I was shocked by a Sabrina Carpenter song recently. Her fans are mostly young teens. Why does everything have to be so pornbrained these days?

Whilst I do think Sabrina Carpenter is just a performative sex object (there is no ‘owning’ herself in her act), many songs have been mainstream yet very highly sexualised over the years. Songs from my youth that I didn’t realise were straight up filth at the time:

Salt N Pepa - Shoop

Mariah Carey and Latto - Big Energy

Missy Elliot - Work It

Probably a million more that I was singing along to whilst my mother was trying not to have a panic…

I won’t Google this song though. What songs these days like SC or Bruno Mars lack is any subtly what so ever. The more the shock factor the more boring it becomes.

Probablywould · 27/01/2025 18:00

Also Bruno Mars has never done music just for adults! I mean he has, gorilla, money make her smile and lots of others that are basically straight up about sex or reference it.
