"Marry You"
Song

"Marry You" is a song by American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars from his debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010). Written and produced by The Smeezingtons, the track serves as the record's sixth track and was released as a single outside of the United States. "Marry You" is a pop song featuring strong influences of doo-wop and soul music. The recording focuses on spontaneous marriage and therefore, since its release, has frequently been used as a proposal song.

"Marry You" received generally positive reviews from music critics, with some complimenting its production and its reminiscence of 60's pop style. Some criticized a perceived lack of creativity. Despite not being released as a single in the US, the song charted at number 85 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since sold 2.2 million copies there. It charted on most international markets within the top fifteen, reaching number 10 on the Canadian Hot 100, number 8 in Australia, the top five in New Zealand, and charting at number 11 in the United Kingdom. The single was certified three times platinum by Music Canada and two times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association. Mars performed "Marry You" on the first of his three worldwide tours, The Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour (2010–12), the Moonshine Jungle Tour (2013–14) and the 24K Magic World Tour (2017-18). The song has been covered a number of times, most notably by the cast of Glee; their cover outperformed the original song by reaching number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Development and conception

"Marry You" is one of the eleven songs composed and produced by The Smeezingtons, the collaboration of Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, and Ari Levine, for Mars's debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans.[1] Lawrence explained the inspiration behind the song in an interview with American Songwriter stating, "[w]e had this image of a slow-mo video in Vegas of a couple running, and she’s in her gown and he’s in his tux, the wedding party is behind them. This sort of crazy, daring, wedding feeling". Lawrence was surprised at the impact of the song after watching some YouTube videos. He stated that "[w]e always thought it was a good song and catchy, but we didn’t think it would affect pop culture the way that it has. The first time we saw one of those YouTube videos...we were almost in tears... the power of what it is we can create. These ideas, words, and lyrics and how they can get into the fabric of society and affect people’s lives in such an amazing way."[2] In an interview with Idolator Bruno Mars said that the song had its beginning by "just playing the chords," and then freestyling the lyrics "I think I wanna marry you!". He continued, "you’re in Vegas...had way too many drinks, and you love everybody, and you want to do something that you probably shouldn’t do and you’ll regret in the morning."[3]

"Marry You" was recorded at Larrabee Recording Studios in Hollywood and Levcon Studios in Los Angeles. The song was mixed by Manny Marroquin and assistants Christian Plata and Erik Madrid. Levine and Mars played and recorded all of the instruments on the track. Levine was also responsible for engineering the song at Levcon Studios.[1]

Composition

"Marry You" was written by The Smeezingtons (Mars, Lawrence, and Levine).[1] It combines elements of surf-pop,[4] pop,[5] and doo-wop[6] and soul.[7] It lasts three minutes and fifty seconds.[8] According to the digital sheet music, it was composed in time signature of common time and in the key of F major with a tempo of 145 beats per minute.[9] The track begins with a running drum beat[10] and also features double hand-claps,[6] piano,[9] echoing church wedding bells[6][11][12] and a sing-songy chorus.[6] Mars's vocal range spans from C4 to D5.[9] His vocals in the song have been described as "plaintive" and "ach[ing] so gently", while wooing throughout the track.[12][6]

The song has been characterized as possessing "forceful velocity" and an "instantly hummable melody" with it being "buoyant", "bubbly" and "Motown marriage track".[6][13][14][15][16] A love song, it lyrically tells about a couple that go to Las Vegas, give up their "capricious impulses" and spontaneously decide to get married.[12][15] Although the song has since become a "classic marriage tune", Lawrence has stated that the writers instead meant to imply a "racy kind of idea".[2] Critics have compared the song to 60's girl groups and to the "surf pop of The Beach Boys", and Coldplay.[4][5][6][13]

Critical reception

"Marry You" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Digital Spy's Lewis Corner gave it a strong review, rating it four out of five stars, with him labeling it as a song that "would not only impress the Elvis impersonator in any Vegas chapel, but is enough to make him a shoo-in for ultimate seducer of 2011" and a "60s-inspired jive-starter".[6] NPR's Ken Tucker and Emily Yang of The Signal said that the recording's sound was reminiscent of the 60's pop.[4][5] Nina Baniamer of Contactmusic.com found the track's production "epic and ambitious" and called the "anthemic" song "sure fire hit".[11] The Boston Globe critic Ken Capobianco praised the song for its "artfully arranged throwback" and exalted Mars's vocals on his love songs, such as "Marry You".[12] Leah Greenblatt, writing for Entertainment Weekly, stated that "Marry You" has "a malt-shop heart" beating beneath its "digital skin", which shows innovation and creativity.[14] The Independent music critic, Andy Gill, flattered the single by calling it "overly ingratiating".[17] Blues & Soul said that "Marry You" is the second part of Just The Way You Are', similarly the "euphoria gets deployed", there is simplicity on the song which culminate in "the perfect platform for Mars' angst ridden yearning vocals to ride over the top complete with church bells."[7] Harris Decker from The Truth About Music foud the song to have a "very over the top production" and praised Mars' vocals by dubbing them "perfect".[10]

In a mixed review, Tim Sendra of Allmusic praised the song's "dynamic and nuanced production", yet founding the track "pleasantly silly".[8] In a negative review, Mike Diver of BBC Music thought confessed that the recording was a "too-clingy and very creepy love song" and noted its lack of inspiration.[18] Similarly, Slant Magazine's Eric Henderson suggested that the song was spun off of Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You", where the word "fuck" was changed to "marry". He further added that the single was a "bizarrely syncopated piledriver".[19]
