Following the commercial success of “Die With A Smile” and “APT.,” Bruno Mars is back once again with another banger as he released his new single “Fat, Wet & Juicy.” And this time, fans of the “Locked Out Of Heaven” singer were left in a bit of shock by the track’s lyrics.
Last Friday, Mars surprised everyone by dropping his most recent track, “Fat, Wet & Juicy,” which featured rapper Sexyy Red. Mars described the song as a “strip club anthem” and it was accompanied by a music video in which the duo is joined by Mars’ previous collaborators, Lady Gaga and Blackpink member Rose. Dressed in matching black suits, all four artists can be seen vibing along to Mars’ single.
While the fact that Lady Gaga and Rose were in the music video, fans were initially surprised by the unusually explicit lyrics of the song, particularly its chorus in which Mars can be heard singing: “I don’t even gangb-ng, p-ssy so good / Make me throw up a set (Ah-ah), uh / That good kitty-kitty, good kitty-kitty / Make it my pet (Ah-ah, ah-ah) / Pretty p-ssy type of p-ssy.”
As soon as these lyrics burrowed their way into listeners’ ears, they took to social media to express their reaction, expressing that this wasn’t the usual content they expected from the “Just The Way You Are” hitmaker.

Some fans, on the other hand, pointed out that the sexually explicit nature of the song didn’t surprise them as many of Mars’ previously released songs also contained racy lyrics.

The same Bruno Mars on Gorilla:
“Yeah, I got a fistful of your hair
But you don't look like you're scared
You just smilin', tell me, "Daddy, it's yours"
'Cause you know how I like it, you's a dirty little lover”It tracks if you listen to his music 🤣 https://t.co/6YYhHkGehB pic.twitter.com/cNXzvzLgtB
