Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), better known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii by a family of musicians, Mars began making music at a young age. He performed in various musical venues in his hometown throughout his childhood. He graduated from high school and then moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a musical career. Mars produced songs for other artists, joining production team The Smeezingtons.
Mars had an unsuccessful stint with Motown Records, but then signed with Atlantic Records in 2009. He became recognized as a solo artist after lending his vocals and co-writing the hooks for the songs "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B, and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy. He also co-wrote the hits "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Ke$ha, and "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan. In October 2010, he released his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. Anchored by the worldwide number-one singles "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. Mars was nominated for seven Grammys at the 53rd Grammy Awards, winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Just the Way You Are".
(a new life)
will it end if what you look at in the mirror doesn't reflect what you want to forget?
(is it over or has it just begun?)
i had a feeling, you had the same, you're hired, holding hearts under a different name.
(you're insane but you're not the only one)
you don't understand, instead you demand a new life
running faster doesn't take your breath
all you fakes and cowards can't believe in that
(running so fast) whay can't you just admit that you were right?
running so fast
1. you will never learn
2. in a world where you haven't yet lost anything, you insist that you have it all, even if it means steal everything.
3. "if they have, i need it." well, you don't need to repeat it to me.
