Bruno Mars and Cardi B have had the music industry completely shook up since the release of their multi-platinum collaboration, “Please Me.” The two mega-stars have come together to create an infectious pop banger that has quickly become one of the biggest singles of the year.

But there are so many more positive benefits to “Please Me” than just its chart success, and they are worth taking a look at.

First off, it’s an ultra-funk hit. From the opening drum fill to the saucy, groove-filled chorus, “Please Me” is a R&B smash through and through. Bruno and Cardi’s individual swag styles blend together here in a perfect combination of sass, clever lyricism, and bumping bass. That makes it just the kind of track that get-togethers and nights out are made of.

The pair’s chemistry is just as captivating. On the album cut, Bruno and Cardi bring an enthusiasm and energy that just make you want to dance. The two trade verses to earth shattering low end and a litany of catchy hooks. Cardi even delivers one of her fiercest verses since 2017’s “Bodak Yellow.”

The production itself is the highlight of the track. It packs a deep bass, heavy 808 trap drums, sparse keys, and a smattering of icy synths that give the track an even more irresistible groove.

Finally, the single has also delivered some pretty impressive visuals. Featuring two of music’s most stylish stars, the video for “Please Me” is a visual treat. It looks like a classic hip-hop video from the nineties, albeit with a few modern updates. It’s an intoxicating blend of lavish lighting, dressed-up details, and perfect choreography that is just as mesmerizing as the song itself.

Overall, Bruno Mars and Cardi B’s “Please Me” is an exemplary collaboration that has provided a much-needed breath of fresh air to the pop and hip-hop dais. With its infectious grooves, stellar production, and brilliant chemistry, it’s sure to be remembered for some time to come.
