Overview
- Mars released the official music video for “Dance With Me” on Thursday, Oct. 1, with Karol G appearing as his romantic co-star in a phone‑booth serenade and balcony reunion.
- The video's launch followed a viral moment when Drake surprised Karol G at her Houston show and Mars posted a joking social message about needing to “get her back,” a sequence outlets say the video intentionally plays off.
- Drake reacted to the video in its comments, writing “Holy this guy works fast,” which outlets reported as a playful public response rather than evidence of any confirmed personal rivalry.
- The rollout is being framed across outlets as a deliberate, publicity‑savvy move that turned short viral clips and social posts into renewed streaming and chart attention for the single.
- The release extends the Bruno–Karol G collaboration that began with their song “Still” and supports Mars' No. 1 album The Romantic, with “Dance With Me” opening on the Hot 100 and likely to drive more streams and tour interest.
