"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, it serves as the record's sixth track and was released as a single outside of the United States. "Marry You" is a pop, doo-wop and soul song. 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 1960s 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. It entered the top ten of most international markets, reaching number 10 on the Canadian Hot 100, number eight in Australia, the top five in New Zealand. The single was certified four times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and three times by Music Canada (MC). Mars has performed "Marry You" on all his tours since 2010. 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 Hot 100.

Background and release

[edit]

"Marry You" is one of the eleven songs 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 written by Mars, Lawrence and Levine. The latter and Mars played all of the instruments on the track. Levine was also responsible for engineering the song at Levcon Studios. The single was mixed by Manny Marroquin and assistants Christian Plata and Erik Madrid at Larrabee Sound Studios in Los Angeles, California. It was mastered by Stephen Marcussen at Marcussen Mastering in Hollywood, California.[1] On August 22, 2011, "Marry You" was released in the United Kingdom via digital download.[4] On September 13, 2011, the song was released in Germany by Warner Music Group.[5]

Composition

[edit]

"Marry You" combines elements of pop, doo-wop and soul.[6][4][7] The song is composed in the key of F major with a tempo of 145 beats per minute, according to the sheet music at Musicnotes.com.[8] It features double hand-claps,[4] echoing church wedding bells[4][9][10] and a sing-songy chorus.[4] Mars's vocal range spans from C4 to D5.[8] His vocals in the song have been described as "plaintive" and "ach[ing] so gently", while wooing throughout the track.[10][4] The song has been characterized as possessing a "forceful velocity" and an "instantly hummable melody".[4][11] It was further described as "buoyant", "bubbly" and a "Motown marriage track".[12][13][14]

"Marry You" is a "paean to getting tanked and then hitched to a pretty cynical appeal to man's baser behaviours."[15] Ultimately a love song, lyrically describes a couple that go to Las Vegas, give up their "capricious impulses" and spontaneously gets married.[10][13] The song became a "classic marriage tune", Lawrence stated the writers meant to imply a "racy kind of idea".[2] Critics compared the song to 60's pop and girl groups, to the "spacious drums" of Coldplay, and the "surf pop of The Beach Boys".[6][11][16]

Critical reception

[edit]

"Marry You" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Digital Spy's Lewis Corner gave it four out of five stars, saying the song "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".[4] Nina Baniamer of Contactmusic.com found the track's production "epic and ambitious" and called the "anthemic" song "sure fire hit".[9] The Boston Globe critic Ken Capobianco praised the song for its "artfully arranged throwback" and exalted Mars's vocals.[10] 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.[12] 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 which culminate in "the perfect platform for Mars' angst ridden yearning vocals to ride over the top."[7]

In a mixed review, Tim Sendra of Allmusic praised the song's "dynamic and nuanced production", finding the track "pleasantly silly".[18] The Scotsman affirmed the track shows Mars at his best and worst, "his facility for a jolly tune and catchy but disposable rhyming couplets".[15] 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.[19] 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".[20]

In September 2024, Billboard's Kyle Dines affirmed that "Marry You" was one "of the young decade's earliest surefire wedding anthems".[21]
