Bruno Mars's pop recording "Just the Way You Are" was released as the lead single from his 2010 debut solo album, *Doo-Wops & Hooligans*. The Philippines-born singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist began performing professionally at age four with his family's band, the Love Notes, and was known in Hawaii for his Elvis Presley impersonation. Mars moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to pursue a musical career and adopted the stage name "Bruno Mars." Before his solo success, Mars established himself as a songwriter and producer, co-founding the production team the Smeezingtons. "Just the Way You Are" topped the Billboard Hot 100 and charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK, and won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. Mars stated that he wasn't thinking of anything deep or poetic when writing "Just the Way You Are," but rather telling a story, inspired by songs like Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful.
