"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 Bruno 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 positive reviews from critics, who considered it a stand-out track on Doo-Wops & Hooligans and praised The Smeezington's production. It won a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 2011 ceremony. 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 nine times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), seven times by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and six times 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. The official remix features rapper Lupe Fiasco and is included on the deluxe edition of Doo-Wops & Hooligans.[1] Mars performed "Just The Way You Are" on The Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour (2010–2012), on the Moonshine Jungle Tour (2013–2014) and on the 24K Magic World Tour (2017-2018). He also included it during his performance at the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show. "Just the Way You Are" has been covered by various recording artists and it inspired Meghan Trainor's debut single "All About That Bass".[2]

Writing and production

Mars said of the song, "It took me months to come up with 'Just the Way You Are'... I wasn't thinking of anything deep or poetic. I was telling a story. Get ready to fall in love!"[3] He added, "I'm a big fan of songs like Joe Cocker's 'You Are So Beautiful' and Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' - songs that go straight to the point. You know, there's no mind-boggling lyrics or twists in the story - they just come directly from the heart. And to me 'Just The Way You Are' is one of those songs. There's nothing mind-blowing about it. I'm just telling a woman she looks beautiful the way she IS - and, let's be honest, what woman doesn't wanna hear those lyrics?!"[4] Mars' A&R was responsible for finding the original idea from producers/ songwriters Khalil Walton and Needlz. Mars originally sang the hook that Khalil and Needlz wrote for a feature on a Lupe Fiasco record. Needlz allowed Mars to use the idea for his album.[5][6] This was all facilitated by Aaron Bay Shuck, who told HitQuarters that as soon as "Just the Way You Are" was finished they knew they had the first single, saying:

"It had a massive chorus, an instantly memorable melody and lyric, and was a natural transition from the B.o.B and Travie McCoy songs ... [Also] it didn’t sound like anything else on the radio. It had everything we could want in a first single for Bruno."[5]

Ari Levine explains: "Needlz had a track with a melody idea by Khalil Walton that was presented to us by one of the A&R guys. Bruno and Phil came up with the chorus, and then Needlz sent us the files and we replaced a bunch of sounds with our sounds and I programmed drums in the MPC, and we wrote the rest of the song. I never met Needlz or Walton".[6] The song was supposed to be for Lupe Fiasco but at this point, Bruno decided to keep it.[7]

"Just the Way You Are" was co-written by Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Khalil Walton and Needlz, while production was handled by the former three production-team, The Smeezingtons. It was mixed at Larrabee Sound Studios in Hollywood by Manny Marroquin, while Christian Plata and Erik Madrid served as mixing assistants. Levine, Needlz, and Mars played all the instruments on the track and recorded them. Ari was also responsible for engineering the song at Levcon Studios in California.[8]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

"Just The Way You Are" is a pop and R&B song[17][18] with an instrumentation that features piano,[19] keyboard sounds[17] and breakbeat.[20] The instruments are arranged into what critics described as a "nice smooth ballad with vocals".[17] Tim Byron of The Vine said "the steeply rising melody at the start of the chorus introduces a little tension before defusing it with the, catchy tag of the chorus, which is simple and effective as a hook".[21] The Guardian music reviewer, Paul Lester, describes the song as "fairly standard R&B pop, his vocal a breezy falsetto as characterless."[18]

The song is in the key of F major and has a sequence of F–Dm–B♭–F.[19] Mars' vocal range spans from F3 to C5.[19] Billboard critic Megan Vick called "Just The Way You Are" "a feel-good jam, in which Mars' is able to take "to the next level" is dreamy soprano with a "breezy piano and vaguely hip-hop breakbeat"".[20] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly labeled the song "sweetly smitten ballad".[22] Nick Levin from Digital Spy describe it as a "huge-hearted urbany piano ballad with a similar instant classic feel to "Empire State of Mind"".[15] From The Guardian, Paul Lester says the lyrics are "about a girl Mars could "kiss all day"".[18] The song has been compared to a "U2 production" by Jon Caramanica of The New York Times[23] and by Andy Gill adding that he felt a "groove through R&B territory".[24] Tim Sendra of AllMusic called the debut single "lushly romantic".[25] Scott Kara for the New Zealand Herald felt the song was a "ballad boogie".[26]

Lyrically, the song is about Mars professing "his love for a beautiful girl who occupies his dreams". Megan Vick for Billboard carries on with her explanation "Mars professes his love..."When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while/ 'Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are". She concludes, "Mars' lyrics aim to make female listeners feel nothing short of perfect in their own skin".[20] Tim Byron of The Vine said the song is "effective – the repeated lines at the start of the verses are catchy".[21] Consequence of Sound's Kevin Barber described the song "Mars sticks to the song’s name and insists that he wouldn’t want to change anything about his particular gal. You believe him, too. With an undeniably catchy chorus".[27]

Reception and accolades

The song has received positive reviews by music critics. Digital Spy's Nick Levine gave the song four out of five stars and described it as a "huge-hearted urbany piano ballad" and compared it to "Empire State of Mind" by Alicia Keys with a similar sound as the Keys song.[15] In her review for Billboard, Megan Vick wrote: "Over a breezy piano and vaguely hip-hop breakbeat, Mars professes his love for a beautiful girl who occupies his dreams [...] Mars pens lyrics that aim to make female listeners feel nothing short of perfect in their own skin. With its steady, danceable pulse and singalong chorus, Mars has created a feel-good jam that should establish him as a solo contender in his own right."[20] Nima Baniamer from Contactmusic.com felt that "there is nothing about the single that makes Bruno Mars stand out from all the other RnB artists dominating the charts at the moment", and said, "The song never builds to any climax and it simply falls a bit flat, coming across quite corny and cheesy."[28]

The song was nominated for the 2010 The Record of the Year ceremony.[29] On February 13, 2011, the song won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The single was nominated for several awards at 2011 Billboard Music Awards, but it ended up by winning only the category Top Radio Song.[30] It was nominated for Choice Music: Love Song at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards.[31] In the same year, the single won Most Performed Song at ASCAP Pop Music Awards.[32] In 2012, at the same award ceremony, it won, again, Most Performed Song and also Song of the Year.[33] At the RTHK International Pop Poll Awards the song won "Top 10 Gold International Gold Songs".[34]

Music video

Development and synopsis

Bruno Mars arranging himself in a cassette tape in the shape of him playing the piano, in the music video.

The corresponding music video was directed by Ethan Lander, shot in September 2010 in the downtown of Los Angeles and released on September 8, 2010.[62][9][63] Cameron Duddy was able to shoot the behind-the-scenes footage in exchange for his jean jacket, which Mars used during the music video.[64] The video features Peruvian-Australian actress Nathalie Kelley. Lander considers Bruno Mars a star. He adds "The charisma that he has, you can’t teach." Finishing with "singer even manages to be suave in his mugshot, which is no small feat!"[65] He sees the video as a collaboration, the video director came up with the vision and Mars added his vision and so on. The video is a mixture of live action and stopped animation and through the animation Bruno shows his girlfriend how beautiful she is. He takes a cassette tape and starts creating images out of the tape and they start to get a life of their own.[62]

The video begins with Kelley listening to "Just the Way You Are" on her Walkman as Mars walks in. Mars stops the tape player, removes the cassette tape and begins singing his song.[66] As the instrumental portion of the song begins, Mars pulls the media out of the cassette tape and arranges the media into letters forming his name followed by the song title. As the song continues, he forms a picture of a drum, again on the table, using the tape media. Additional images of similar construction follow throughout the video including a portrait of Mars as well as one of Kelley blinking her eyes and smiling as Mars continues singing. Most of the images shown are animated, including a bell which Mars rings with his fingers in synchronization with the chimes near the end of the song. Lastly, Mars finishes the song while singing and playing an upright piano while Kelley watches and smiles. The video was inspired by the artwork of Erika Iris Simmons.[1]
