Hi, I'm Cartoon network freak and here's my review for your GAN:
- Lead
Bruno Mars' -> Bruno Mars's; you only let the "s" gone if it is plural
- "With some singular nouns that end in -s, pronouncing the possessive ending as a separate syllable can sound awkward; in such cases, it is acceptable to use just an apostrophe". - (Kirszner & Mandell, The Brief Holt Handbook)
- Add year of release for the album in "()"
- Remove "(EP)" and add release year of the EP.
- as the -> as its
- and produced by -> while production was handled by
- and co-produced by Bhasker -> in collaboration with Bhasker
- is a Pop song -> remains a pop song
- and the song's lyrics -> and its lyrics
- Brazil by -> Brazil through
- Insensato Coração (Irrational Heart). -> Insensato Coração (Irrational Heart) from YEAR OF RELEASE
- charted on -> charted on the
- one on both -> one, respectively
- several times -> you already used "several", try to change
- Add year of tour

Addressed but the first one.MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:29, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
- Infobox
For "recorded", change the style to that used in "Dance (Alexandra Stan song)"
- Background and production
Understand, released -> Understand, which was released- Mars stated: "I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies. And I'm singing the s*** out of them." -> Mars stated that "[he] just [writes] songs that [he] strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies. And [he is] singing the s*** out of them."
- Unlink "studio album"

Try to combine two latter two sentences with other ones
- Done. I'm not sure what you want with the last comment, could you detail a little more? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:42, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
- I mean you're talking about the track reaching number one, following which you're talking about something different, and then you're again saying that it stayed there for nine weeks. This somehow doesn't fit together. Cartoon network freak (talk) 18:51, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
- Usage in media
of the -> of- and it is included -> ,with it being as well included
- It was also used -> "Talking to the Moon"
- song is -> song was
- Credits and personnel
Credits adapted from the liner notes of Doo-Wops & Hooligans, Elektra Records -> place this above- Change the overall style of the credits to that used in "Dance (Alexandra Stan song)"
I only change the "mixing and mastering" → Recording. There is more than one way of doing things. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:42, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Outcome:
