Bruno Mars Speaks On Writing/Co-Producing Cee-Lo Green’s “F**K You”

Tahirah Edwards Byfield August 26, 2010 Music Comments

**Hands in late pass** I didn’t know Bruno Mars co-wrote and co-produced my current anthem, Cee-Lo Green’s jam “F**K You”! The viral video to the single, lifted from Cee-Lo’s forthcoming album, The LadyKiller has amassed a staggering nearly 2 and a half million views (at the time of blogging) since hitting the interwebs a week ago and the radio edit, “Forget You” is already getting beaten on the radio.

Bruno Mars, who is most known for his number one collaboration with B.O.B, co-wrote/produced the track with his writing and production partners, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine (the trio make up the Smeezingtons). Here he talks to MTV about the collaboration:

Bruno, who might possibly be the latest victim object of one of my music-crushes, is finishing his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans, due for release this Autumn.

About The Author

Being born to a father who used to own an independent reggae label and a mother who sang meant a love for melodies, chords, vocals and beats was naturally infused in Tahirah Edwards Byfield. Unfortunately that love for music wasn’t accompanied by any type of musical ability! So the young creative married her love of tuneage with her other favourite form of expression, literature. Combined with the other thing she’s pretty good at – talking too much – Tahirah enjoys waxing lyrical about music and street culture on paper and on radio.

    Doo-Wops is fantastic. “Grenade” is definitely my favorite track on the album.
