Bruno Mars has surprised fans with a new music video for “Dance With Me,” the closing track from his 2026 album The Romantic. The bigger surprise arrives on screen alongside him: Karol G, marking the second visual collaboration between the two artists after their “Still” video earlier this year.
The “Dance With Me” video opens with Mars alone inside a telephone booth, setting up the song’s old-fashioned romantic mood before he calls Karol G and begins singing to her. What follows shifts the visual from intimate to almost fairytale-like, with Mars serenading Karol beneath her balcony, accompanied by a full band.

The chemistry between the two is the centerpiece of the clip. Rather than turning “Dance With Me” into a conventional performance video, the visual leans into the song’s romantic invitation, allowing the two artists to play off each other as the arrangement builds around them.
The clip ultimately ends with Bruno Mars and Karol G embracing, adding another chapter to a collaboration that has increasingly caught fans’ attention throughout 2026. Their first major connection came through “Still,” the English-language ballad from Karol G’s No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto.
“Still” received its official music video on September 2 after being filmed during Karol G’s August 15 concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Bruno Mars made a surprise appearance during the sold-out show to perform the song live for the first time, with more than 50,000 fans watching as the performance was recorded for the video.
That visual was built around the hours before the concert, following Mars and Karol through the empty stadium, dressing rooms and backstage areas before eventually bringing them together onstage. Much of the video was presented in black and white, with color arriving for the live performance.
The release of “Dance With Me” arrives shortly after another Bruno Mars and Karol G moment went viral. When Drake made a surprise appearance at Karol’s September 27 Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour show at Houston’s Reliant Stadium, Mars jokingly reacted to footage of the pair dancing together.
“When you see Drake dancing with your latina crush in 4k,” he wrote on Instagram. “Respond to me asap!! I have to get her back! I must get her back! I will get her back!” The post was clearly framed as a joke, but it added another layer to the playful Bruno-Karol storyline that had already developed around “Still.”
“Dance With Me” itself closes The Romantic, Mars’ fourth solo studio album and first in 10 years. Released February 27, the nine-track, 31-minute-and-30-second album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while the song debuted at No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.
