Bruno Mars — Count on Me

A deep cut from Bruno Mars's debut is broadly charting again, tracked across 82 country and platform charts today after a stretch off the radar since early June. Tucked onto Doo-Wops & Hooligans in 2010, the acoustic ukulele number was never a marquee single — it sits closer to a campfire singalong than to the horn-driven pop that later defined his catalog — yet its plainspoken promise of friendship has given it an unusually long shelf life in classrooms, weddings, and lip-sync clips. Its "count on me like one, two, three" refrain, as Genius documents, is the sort of hook built for group recital. The song has also drifted through film and TV over the years, surfacing in the trailer for the 2021 Tom & Jerry film. Its return to broad presence continues a familiar pattern for Mars's back catalog.
