Locked Out of Heaven - Bruno Mars - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The lead single from Bruno Mars' sophomore studio album Unorthodox Jukebox, "Locked Out of Heaven" (2012) received instant critical and commercial acclaim upon its release, becoming one of the singer's most beloved and recognizable singles. Taking The Police as its main source of inspiration, as well as new wave and funk, the track is a reggae-influenced pop banger that gradually builds up into an anthemic chorus that showcases Bruno Mars' vocal prowess while perfectly conveying the feeling of sexual chemistry between two lovers. The song was produced by English musician Mark Ronson, Jeff Bhasker, Emile Haynie, and songwriting duo The Smeezingtons, and was written by Bruno Mars with Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. Shortly after seeing the light, "Locked Out of Heaven" soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for six consecutive weeks, achieving platinum certification a total of nine times.
