A year ago today, Cardi B and Bruno Mars had came together to collab again, and released the song, “Please Me.” The song was produced by Mars and the Stereotypes, as a “mid-tempo” retro groove type song.
This would be the second time the two would collab, since their 2018 collab, “Finesse” that released on January 2018. “Please Me,” debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #5, and then later reached and peaked at #3. The song would eventually have a music video that was released on March 1, 2019.
Cardi had reactivated her Instagram account to announce a new collaboration on February 14th, having to deactivate her profile for a couple of days after receiving criticism online in response to her winning Best Rap Album at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.
Both Cardi and Mars shared the cover art on their respective accounts. “Please Me” was written by Cardi B, Bruno Mars, James Fauntleroy, Jonathan Yip, Ray Romulus, Jeremy Reeves, and Ray McCullough II. The production and programming was handled by Mars and the latter four, known as The Stereotypes.
The music video premiered on March 1, 2019 on YouTube. It was directed by Florent Dechard and Mars, and was choreographed by Tanisha Scott, Phil Tayag and also Mars.
In the video, Cardi is wearing a Selena-inspired look, composed by a purple leather jacket with fringe and a bustier. The music video was filmed in Los Angeles, California.
Well, let’s just cut straight to the chase, Cardi and Bruno has made a truly formidable, totally kicka** team. Case in point, the remix of Mars’ “Finesse,” which arrived in 2018. This time, Cardi B seems to be the headliner, even though “Please Me” is attributed to both artists, which also both happen to be signed to Atlantic.
The results are nothing short of stellar! Cardi B raps on both verses, exhibiting a compelling flow, while Mars was able to deliver a smooth, high-flying vocals on the ‘irresistibly good’ chorus. Really, can you go wrong with Cardi B and Bruno Mars team up? NO! As mentioned, this a formidable, kicka** pairing who continue to show how superb they are on “Please Me.” Both musicians excel in their respective roles with this great love and sexy song. I’m sure a lot of BardiGang would love to see Cardi and Bruno team up once again!

Tomorrow the Recording Academy will be making the announcements for the nominations for the 2019 Grammy show, and Cardi does have some potential songs that could get nominated for tomorrow!
Billboard has made some earlier predictions back in July of this year, that Please Me by Cardi and Bruno Mars could possibly be looking at a nomination for the “Reocrd of the Year” category. Another possible canididate for “Record of the Year,” would be “Money” which was another big record, though that came out at the end of last year it would still be eligible to make the mark. There’s also a great possibility that “Money,” can also get into the “Best Music Video” category.
Whether Cardi gets nominated or not, or takes home another Grammy this year, just know that 2020 will be a HUGE year for BardiGang! CB2 is coming and promotion is already starting, Fast and the Furious 9, another unknown movie appearancem, a POSSIBLE WORLD TOUR, and MUCH MORE!!!
