*The Romantic*, released on February 27, 2026, is Bruno Mars' fourth solo studio album and his first in over nine years since 2016's *24K Magic*. The album features nine tracks and runs for just over 30 minutes. Mars primarily composed the album with D'Mile, a past collaborator and producer from An Evening with Silk Sonic. Other returning collaborators include Philip Lawrence, Brody Brown, and James Fauntleroy. Two singles supported the album's release: "I Just Might" on January 9, 2026, which debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, and "Risk It All" on February 27, 2026. A tour spanning North America and Europe, with 71 shows, is scheduled from April to October 2026 to promote the album. Critics have given the album generally favorable reviews, praising Mars' vocals, but some found the lyrics less original than his previous work.
