Bruno Mars Just The Way You Are

“Just the Way You Are” is the debut solo single by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. It is the lead single from his debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010). The song was written by Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Khalil Walton and Needlz and produced by the former three, under their alias, the Smeezingtons along with Needlz. It was released in the United States to contemporary hit radio on August 10, 2010. The track was released in the United Kingdom on September 19, 2010, as “Just the Way You Are (Amazing)”. The song’s lyrics compliment a woman’s beauty.

The debut single received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised the Smeezingtons’ production but dubbed its lyrics as sappy and corny. It won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. The song peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and in the United Kingdom charts and peaked in the top five in other countries. It was certified thirteen times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), seven times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and diamond by Music Canada (MC). “Just the Way You Are” was the best-selling digital single of 2011, selling more than 12.5 million copies, thus joining an elite group of best-selling singles worldwide.

The music video, directed by Ethan Lader, was released on September 8, 2010, and features Peruvian born Australian actress Nathalie Kelley. Mars performed “Just The Way You Are” at Saturday Night Live and at The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He has sang “Just the Way You Are” on all his tours since 2010, usually as an encore, and included it during his performance at the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show. The song has been covered by various recording artists and it inspired Meghan Trainor’s debut single “All About That Bass” (2014).

Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they’re not shinin’
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her tryin’
She’s so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know
When I compliment her, she won’t believe me
And it’s so, it’s so
Sad to think that she don’t see what I see
But every time she asks me, “Do I look okay?” I say

[Chorus]
When I see your face (Face, face)
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing (Amazing)
Just the way you are (Are)
And when you smile (Smile, smile)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause, girl, you’re amazing (Amazing)
Just the way you are (Are)
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she’d let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates, but I think it’s so sexy
She’s so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know
I’d never ask you to change
If perfect’s what you’re searching for
Then just stay the same
So don’t even bother askin’ if you look okay
You know I’ll say

[Chorus]
When I see your face (Face, face)
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing (Amazing)
Just the way you are (Are)
And when you smile (Smile, smile)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause, girl, you’re amazing (Amazing)
Just the way you are (Are)

[Post-Chorus]
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you’re amazing (Amazing)
Just the way you are (Are)

[Chorus]
When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing (Amazing)
Just the way you are (Are)
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause, girl, you’re amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
