'' ) is a song recorded by British record producer Mark Ronson and American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars, for Ronson 's fourth studio album, Uptown Special ( 2015 ). RCA Records released the song as the album 's lead single on 10 November 2014. Jeff Bhasker assisted the artists in co-writing and co-producing the track, with additional writing from Philip Lawrence. The song became a worldwide phenomenon with its major impact on pop culture. According to Billboard, the song remains the biggest hit of the 2010s. The song went through many different incarnations, and was worked on for months. Ronson and Mars recorded it at multiple different locations worldwide, ranging from recording studios to dressing rooms. American bands Sharon Jones & The Dap - Kings and Antibalas perform horn parts on the song, while the song 's lyrics interpolate a line from rapper Trinidad James ' song `` All Gold Everything '' ( 2012 ). Several music critics noted its similarity with popular music from the 1980s. The song features heavy inspiration from the Minneapolis sound of 1980s - era funk music, having a spirit akin to works by Prince as well as Morris Day and The Time. Copyright controversies arose after the song 's release, with multiple lawsuits and amendments to its songwriting credits. `` Uptown Funk '' spent 14 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, seven non-consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and topped the charts in several other countries including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland and New Zealand. It became the second best - selling single of 2015 and one of the best - selling of all - time. The song won two Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year. Its music video stars Ronson, Mars, and Mars ' backing band the Hooligans dancing in a city street, and accumulated 2.6 billion views on video sharing website YouTube as of August 2017, making it the fifth most viewed YouTube video of all time.

In 2012, Ronson produced songs for Bruno Mars ' second studio album Unorthodox Jukebox, including the singles `` Locked Out of Heaven '' and `` Gorilla ''. In June 2014, Ronson told Capital FM that he and Mars planned on working together again : `` He 's had a ( sic ) incredible run and it was great to be able to work on that record with him and hopefully we 'll be making music for a while. ( He puts on an ) amazing live show. '' Ronson and Uptown Special co-producer Jeff Bhasker would set up shop whenever and wherever they found time with Mars, eventually recording in Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Vancouver, Memphis and New York City. Mars wound up playing drums throughout the album, as well as co-writing `` Uptown Funk ''. Part of the track was recorded at Cherry Beach Sound in Toronto. On 9 October 2014, Mike Mullaney ( Music Director / Assistant Program Director at CBS Radio / WBMX ), listened to the song, which was sent to CBS Radio for testing, and called it `` the greatest song of all time ''. He added `` The Ronson / Bruno tune is like JamesBrown / RickJames / TheTime jamming w / badass brass band '', describing it as `` Filthy, funky '' and complementing Bruno 's vocals, `` Bruno simply wails ''. In April 2015, it was revealed that a settlement had been reached with The Gap Band 's publishing company, Minder Music, to add core group members Charlie Wilson, Robert Wilson, Ronnie Wilson, keyboardist Rudolph Taylor and producer Lonnie Simmons as co-writers, due to the song 's similarities to `` Oops Upside Your Head '', and that they would receive a 17 % songwriting credit. Minder Music filed a claim into YouTube 's content management system, which prevented publishers from receiving their payment. An early version of the song had `` an inexplicable hard - rock breakdown and a chorus, in which Bruno Mars shouted, `` Burn this motherfucker down ! ''. They spent months working on the chorus until they came up the idea of not having one. The song almost did n't see the light of the day due to its early versions. The record label was hesitant on releasing the song under its current title, suggesting the alternative name `` Just Watch ''. Composition and Influences `` Uptown Funk '' is in the key of D Dorian with a time signature of 4 4 and has a tempo of 115 beats per minute. `` Uptown Funk '' is also heavily influenced by the Minneapolis sound of the early 1980s, pioneered by Prince, The Time with Morris Day, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis with a touch of boogie of The Gap Band, and Zapp and a slight modern EDM twist. According to Ronson in Rolling Stone, the song `` animates a Minneapolis groove. '' According to Chris Molanphy of Slate, `` Uptown Funk '' is a `` brazen return to the electro - funk of the early ' 80s. '' According to Billboard writer Sean Ross, the song is widely influenced by funk artists and their songs. This includes Zapp 's `` More Bounce to the Ounce '', One Way 's `` Cutie Pie '', The Gap Band 's `` I Do n't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance ( Oops Up Side Your Head ) '' and `` Early in the Morning '', Earth, Wind & Fire 's `` Getaway '', The Sequence 's `` Funk You Up '', The Sugarhill Gang 's `` Apache '', George Kranz 's `` Trommeltanz ( Din Daa Daa ) '' and The Time 's `` Cool '' and `` Jungle Love ''. The only song specifically credited on `` Uptown Funk '' is Trinidad James ' 2012 top 10 R&B and rap hit `` All Gold Everything ''. However, many of the songs cited `` were released during the worst period of a ' disco backlash ' that effectively kept all types of black music, not just disco, off of top 40 '', while `` Uptown Funk '' received instant airplay at top 40 radio. Charles Moniz, one of the several engineers of the song, said that he helped with the `` doh '' vocal bass line on the track. Philip Lawrence said they needed an opening bassline, however Lawrence could n't play the bass. Moniz told him to sing it. `` That became what stayed on the album '', according to Moniz. The team had been stuck on the chorus for a while, came offstage after a show one night and proclaimed : `` I got it ''. Some of the track progressive phases were done on `` makeshift studios '' set up by Moniz in dressing rooms. Reception Nick Murray of Rolling Stone was positive, giving the song a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, praising `` some George Kranz scatting and a Nile Rodgers guitar riff. '' He also wrote that Mars, Ronson and The Hooligans `` channel the days when brags were n't humble and disco was n't retro. '' Brennan Carley of Spin Magazine noted that `` Mars sounds a bit like Nelly on the track, sing - rapping his way through goofy lyrics ( '' Got Chucks on / With Saint Laurent / Gotta kiss myself / So pretty `` ) '', while comparing the bass line to something `` taken straight from Prince 's playbook. '' He added that `` It 's a definite step towards more classic funk for Ronson, who has a history of dabbling in heavy horn sections and walking guitar solos. '' He finished by saying `` Mars ' voice keeps things light and bubbly though, making ' Uptown Funk ' the kind of song you 'll be unable to escape on the radio in a matter of days. '' Lucas Villa of AXS called Ronson `` eternally cool '' and added that the producer 's `` latest foray into ' Funk ' is definitely his freakiest, freshest and most fun release yet. '' In a mixed review for the parent album Uptown Special, Jim Farber from the New York Daily News gave an overrall 3 / 5 rating and claimed that Ronson `` just got lucky. '' He particularly criticized `` Uptown Funk '' for being a `` lazy track '', unlike the rest of the songs, which `` obsess on the past, but most enliven it. '' Similarly, in Andy Kellman 's Allmusic review for the album, he criticized the song as `` aiming for early Time and landing closer to a second - tier trifle -- One Way 's `` Let 's Talk, '' for instance ``. In January 2015, `` Uptown Funk '' was ranked at number 23, tied with Meghan Trainor 's `` All About That Bass '' on The Village Voice 's annual year - end Pazz & Jop critics ' poll. The same critics ' poll ranked `` Uptown Funk '' at number eight the following year. Later the same month, the song was voted into Triple J 's Hottest 100 at number 6. Ronson won two Grammy Awards in February 2016, including Record Of The Year for `` Uptown Funk.
