With a soulful voice and even more harmonious tunes, one man has captured the hearts of girls everywhere. Hint: He probably wrote one of your favorite songs and he isn’t Canadian. Since that rules out Drake, you know it’s Bruno Mars. After helping out Travis McCoy and B.o.B with their hit singles, Bruno captured a #1 smash for himself with Just the Way You Are and his latest attempt at chart domination arrives in the form of a Grenade. Helmed by Mars-lead production team The Smeezingtons, Grenade features some uptempo production and an infectious hook (did you expect anything else?), but it’s really Bruno’s voice that steals the show. This is a much more emotional song than Way You Are, giving off a more serious tone and gritty flavor as Bruno lets the fairer sex know that he would do anything for them, from jumping in front of trains to even catching some shrapnel – too bad his girl doesn’t feel the same way. So how about it Booth? Will Bruno’s debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans, out now, contain two number one hits? We’ll find out soon in the comments below.

This song first appeared on the R&B / Pop Chart on October 25, 2010

Bruno is a hit machine. "Grenade" really has a chance to pop (literally!)

Bruno Mars is so underrated. I mean people think that he's good but he's really much better than people think. Talented, Versatile, Catchy, and it seems like everything he makes is top-notch. There really isn't one of Bruno's songs that i don't like. I guess this is just another status quo hit from him. Your definitely headed to the top Bruno.

Have been playing this for a few weeks and everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) has stopped what they were doing to pay close attention to this. Consider it my test market - for what it's worth but this is a HIT! Can anyone name a song he has touched that hasn't cracked Top 40 yet? LOL

WOW...see these the kinda songs Ne-Yo was capable of creating....not in the same style of singing but in the way of creating concepts, lyrics, and feeling that's addictive....you have to give it to this man....he's on fire...and i definitely like this one

This song is gonna blow up (pun intended and I'm surprised no one has said that yet). Great song and it'll just be another hit for Bruno.

Such a good song, great production, this guy is just insanely talented.

On a funny note, the title threw me off at first - had an image of a fat chick in my brain (must be from watching too many episodes of the Jersey Shore) haha

This song is really good, I mean really good, but I don’t think it has the same appeal as just the way you are.

I was personally hoping that "Talking to the moon" would be the next single, but this is equally solid. My 4th favourite on the album (shows how good 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans' is!)

This is a great record. Its like I can feel his emotion in the song. It's almost like soul music. Like Z said this can be a big hit record.

He can do a lot. Even when you don't hear his voice, he'll be present for a long time.

When I first heard this song, it gave me chills. I thought it was Michael Jackson's new song. This guy has the same haunting and soulful sound as MJ. he is destined for great things.
