Featured on the 2016 album 24K Magic, “Versace on the Floor” is an homage to the slow jams of the 1990s, and gives singer Bruno Mars a chance to show off his sentimental side.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mars claimed the song through several different iterations before arriving at the final version. “At a certain point, I needed to stop telling you we’re gonna get down, and just get down,” Mars said of his inspiration for the hook.
The track charted moderately well, peaking at #33 on the Billboard Top 100 in the US. A music video, starring American actress and singer Zendaya, and a popular remix produced by French DJ David Guetta, were both released in 2017.
The tune begins in D major and modulates up to Eb for the final chorus at 3:19.
