Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the third single from 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans', this breezy, reggae-influenced pop track celebrates the joys of unabashed procrastination. Its simple acoustic guitar arrangement and whistling melodies made it an incredibly ubiquitous, lighthearted radio hit. The song is famously accompanied by an unedited, one-shot music video featuring Bruno Mars hanging out with dancers in monkey masks.
