Bruno Mars is "nervous" about his next single. The star has had great success with his last single, "Locked Out Of Heaven," but is unsure as to how his next, "When I Was Your Man," will be received.
"Soon you guys will hear a song I wrote called When I Was Your Man. I've never been this nervous. Can't explain it," he wrote on Twitter.
Another new track on his second album, Unorthodox Jukebox, was inspired by Bruno's visit to a French strip club, after they played another of his hits, and he didn't find it appropriate. Speaking about the track, "Money Make Her Smile," Bruno recalled, "That's the wild card. We actually wrote that to be a strip-club anthem. After a concert in Paris, we went to a strip club; the promoter got on the mic and said, 'We have a special guest, Bruno Mars!' - and then they played 'Just the Way You Are.' That's the worst song to hear in that environment, so I resolved to write a good one."
Unorthodox Jukebox will be released on December 11.

Bruno Mars’ Creative Freedom

Bruno Mars had "creative freedom" on Unorthodox Jukebox. The "Locked out of Heaven" singer is preparing the release of his second album, and enjoyed skipping between different genres on each track of the album.
"This is me going into the studio and recording and writing whatever I want. This album represents my freedom. I listen to a lot of music and I want to have the freedom and luxury to walk into a studio and say, 'Today I want to do a hip-hop, R&B, soul or rock record,'" he told Billboard.
The 26-year-old singer said his desire to keep changing his sound between songs wasn't popular with record executives at the beginning of his career, when he was dropped by the Universal Motown label: "I've had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, 'Your music sucks, you don't know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don't know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us. That was disgusting to me, because I'm not trying to be a circus act."
