Bruno Mars is back with a bang — his brand-new single "Dance With Me", featuring Karol G in its star-studded official music video, has become one of the most talked-about releases of the season. Between the old-Hollywood romance of the video and a week of viral onstage drama, the song's first week has been anything but quiet.
"Dance With Me" was released as a single on October 1, 2026, by Atlantic Records. It is the third single from Bruno Mars' fourth solo studio album The Romantic, which arrived on February 27, 2026 with nine tracks and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The song also holds a special spot on the record as its closing track.
The single continues a strong run of releases from the album era, including Risk It All (his earlier single from The Romantic) and I Just Might (his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 lead single). Fans can also catch up on Bruno Mars' full biography for the complete story of his career so far.
The Karol G Video
The official music video, which dropped on October 1, 2026, pairs Mars with Colombian superstar Karol G — the duo's second visual collaboration, following "Still" from Karol G's album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto.
The clip opens with Mars inside a telephone booth, placing a call to Karol G. What follows is an old-Hollywood-style serenade performed beneath her balcony with a full band, before the video wraps with the pair sharing a joyful embrace.
The Viral Rollout
Days before the video arrived, the internet was already buzzing. On September 27, 2026, Drake made a surprise appearance at Karol G's Houston concert at Reliant Stadium on her Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour, joining her onstage for a close dance that lit up social media.
Mars reacted with a mock-jealous social media post — a dramatic private-jet-window photo joking that he had to win her back. Three days later, the punchline landed: the whole episode was the staged setup for the "Dance With Me" video rollout, as attributed to The Source. Drake reportedly answered with a playful comment of his own, though that reply has only been reported and should not be taken as confirmed fact.
Chart Debut
"Dance With Me" has debuted at No. 42 on the US Billboard Hot 100 — a solid opening week for the third single from The Romantic.
The debut adds to an already successful album campaign, which includes I Just Might (his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 lead single) and That's Why I Love You (his duet with Victoria Monét).
