Bruno Mars Brings "Risk It All" To The Stage In New Live Video From 'The Romantic Tour' - That Eric Alper
Bruno Mars has shared a live performance video of “Risk It All” from ‘The Romantic Tour’, giving fans a front-row look at one of the standout songs from his chart-topping album ‘The Romantic’. The performance arrives following a remarkable night at the American Music Awards, where Mars collected three trophies, including Best Male R&B Artist. With the song topping the Billboard Global 200 and becoming his 22nd Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, “Risk It All” has become another major success in a career overflowing with them.
The new footage brings attention back to the live side of Mars’ latest album, offering a glimpse of how the music translates to the enormous stages of his global headlining tour. After spending years creating some of pop’s most recognizable records, Mars has built an equally formidable reputation as a live entertainer, drawing on the traditions of soul, R&B, funk and classic showmanship.
“Risk It All” has been a significant part of the album’s commercial success. Alongside its No. 1 position on the Billboard Global 200, the song topped Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart and reached No. 1 on both Apple Music and Spotify’s global and US song charts.
Those achievements are impressive even by Mars’ extraordinary standards.
His fourth solo album, ‘The Romantic’, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking the first time one of his albums entered the chart at the top. It was also his second No. 1 album overall, following ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’, and delivered the biggest album debut of his career.
The record also topped Apple Music’s Global Album Chart and Spotify’s global and US album charts, reflecting an audience that has continued expanding across different generations of listeners.
For an artist who has already enjoyed enormous success, that’s quite an accomplishment.
Another album highlight, “I Just Might”, became Mars’ 10th No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and his first to debut at the summit. The song also earned Best R&B Song at the American Music Awards, while ‘The Romantic’ received Best R&B Album.
Combined with his Best Male R&B Artist victory, the three awards underscored how strongly his latest material has connected with audiences.
The live “Risk It All” video provides another opportunity to experience that material outside the studio. Concert performances have always occupied an important place in Mars’ career, with his ability to bring vintage musical influences into contemporary pop forming a substantial part of his appeal.
His performances draw from a tradition of entertainers who treat the stage as an opportunity to connect directly with an audience. The music, presentation and personality all contribute to an experience designed for a room full of people sharing the same songs.
‘The Romantic Tour’ marked his first full headlining tour in nearly a decade, opening in April with two sold-out performances at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The opening celebrations also highlighted his longstanding connection with the city.
Clark County officially declared April 10 Bruno Mars Day, and Mars received a key to the Las Vegas Strip in recognition of his contribution to its entertainment culture. Park Avenue was also renamed Bruno Mars Drive, placing him alongside legendary performers honoured through the city’s street names, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
It’s a fitting recognition for an entertainer whose career owes plenty to the traditions those artists helped establish.
Mars’ latest solo success follows another remarkable run of collaborations.
His recording of “Die With A Smile” with Lady Gaga became the fastest song in Spotify history to reach one billion streams and spent 18 weeks atop the Billboard Global 200, tying the chart’s longevity record.
His collaboration with ROSÉ, “APT.”, achieved another extraordinary collection of milestones, including recognition as the biggest-selling global single of 2025 by IFPI and the most globally streamed song of that year on Apple Music.
The track also won Song of the Year at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards and received three nominations at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
That string of successes has kept Mars in the spotlight across solo recordings and collaborations, with ‘The Romantic’ giving him another collection of songs to bring to audiences onstage.
And “Risk It All” has established itself as one of the album’s biggest commercial highlights.
The newly released live video captures the song as part of the concert experience that has accompanied Mars’ return to full-scale headlining performances. For fans who attended ‘The Romantic Tour’, it’s another way to revisit the music. For everyone else, it’s an opportunity to see how one of the year’s biggest hits works onstage.
After three American Music Awards, a No. 1 album and another global chart-topping single, Bruno Mars has plenty to celebrate. The “Risk It All” live performance gives the spotlight back to the music, right where he seems to enjoy it most.
