Bruno Mars & Karol G reunite in dreamy 'Dance With Me' video

Bruno Mars and Karol G have once again joined forces, this time for the romantic music video for Dance With Me. The visual, released on October 1, 2026, marks another chapter in their creative partnership, following their 2025 hit single Still from Karol G’s album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto. Fans can now watch the duo’s latest collaboration, which blends Mars’ signature retro-pop charm with Karol G’s vibrant energy.

A dreamy reunion on screen

The Dance With Me video is a nostalgic, old-school serenade. It opens with Mars crooning into a payphone, his voice pleading as Karol G listens from her bedroom. The scene shifts to Mars standing beneath her balcony, backed by a full string section, delivering a heartfelt performance. The video culminates in a tender reunion, with fireworks lighting up the sky as the two embrace. The visuals echo the romantic themes of Mars’ latest album, The Romantic, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 earlier this year.

The collaboration comes at a playful moment in their friendship. Just days before the video’s release, Mars jokingly reacted to a viral clip of Drake dancing with Karol G during her Houston concert, posting on social media, “I have to get her back! I must get her back! I will get her back!” The lighthearted rivalry adds a fun layer to their musical bond, which began with Still, a synth-pop ballad that peaked at No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100.

From the stage to the studio

Mars and Karol G first performed Still together during her Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour stop at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on August 15, 2026. The surprise appearance delighted fans, and their chemistry on stage hinted at future collaborations. Now, Dance With Me brings their partnership full circle, offering a fresh take on Mars’ romantic sound while showcasing Karol G’s versatility.

For Mars, Dance With Me serves as the closing track on The Romantic, his first solo album in nearly a decade. The album has been a critical and commercial success, and Mars is currently touring in support of it. Meanwhile, Karol G continues to dominate the global music scene, with No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard 200.
