The Romantic Lyrics & Tracklist - Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars‘ upcoming fourth solo studio album, The Romantic, is dropping on February 27, 2026, through Atlantic Records. It’s his first full solo project since 24K Magic back in 2016, after years focused on the Silk Sonic collab with Anderson .Paak and big duets like “Die with a Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT.” with ROSÉ. He announced it was done on January 5, then revealed the title, cover art, and date on January 7, with pre-orders already live on his site (including special vinyl editions like a numbered first pressing with extras like a lyric booklet). Distribution is standard digital on Spotify, Apple Music, etc., plus physical formats through his webstore and retailers.

The rollout starts strong with the first single coming out today (January 9, 2026), and there’s no tracklist confirmed yet—Genius has a speculative page with just placeholders like “I Just Might” and the title track, but nothing official. Reports say it’s mostly him working with longtime collaborators like Philip Lawrence, and no features are expected. To support it, he’s launching The Romantic Tour in 2026—a massive stadium run from April to October across North America and Europe, with Anderson .Paak (as DJ Pee .Wee) on all dates, plus guests like Raye, Leon Thomas, and Victoria Monét. Tickets go on presale soon, starting January 14.

This feels like a big romantic throwback to his classic sound after all those collabs kept him busy. If the single hits today, it’ll probably build even more hype fast.
