The love doctor is in. As Billboard can exclusively announce Friday (Feb. 20), Bruno Mars will build up to the release of his upcoming album, The Romantic, by partnering with iHeartMedia and TikTok to launch a one-time radio program featuring the funk-pop superstar as advisor and disc jockey.
Airing at 9 p.m. ET on Feb. 26, “Romantic Radio With Bruno Mars: An iHeartRadio Album Preview” will find Mars premiering tracks from his new LP and weighing in on love stories — and mishaps — sent in by listeners via iHeart’s Talkback feature on Love Songs Radio or live chat. The Grammy winner may respond with a personalized dedication before playing a song or give advice.

In a statement on the broadcast, Mars said simply, “Next week marks the start of a new year … The Year of The Romantic.”
The Romantic will drop one day after the radio program, marking Mars’ first solo LP since 2016’s 24K Magic, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The new project’s lead single, “I Just Might” — which the Silk Sonic star performed at the 2026 Grammys earlier in February — dropped Jan. 9 and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the singer’s 10th single to top the chart.
Also at the Grammys, Mars performed his Billboard Global 200-topping collaboration with ROSÉ “APT.” In April, he’ll embark on a sprawling stadium tour with support from Anderson .Paak, RAYE, Victoria Monét and Leon Thomas.
