Background and release
"Marry You" is one of the eleven songs composed and produced by The Smeezingtons, the collaboration of Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, and Ari Levine, for Mars's debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans.[1] Lawrence explained the inspiration behind the song in an interview with American Songwriter stating, "[w]e had this image of a slow-mo video in Vegas of a couple running, and she's in her gown and he's in his tux, the wedding party is behind them. This sort of crazy, daring, wedding feeling". Lawrence was surprised at the impact of the song after watching some YouTube videos. He stated that "[w]e always thought it was a good song and catchy, but we didn't think it would affect pop culture the way that it has. The first time we saw one of those YouTube videos...we were almost in tears... the power of what it is we can create. These ideas, words, and lyrics and how they can get into the fabric of society and affect people's lives in such an amazing way."[2] In an interview with Idolator Bruno Mars said that the song had its beginning by "just playing the chords," and then freestyling the lyrics "I think I wanna marry you!". He continued, "you're in Vegas...had way too many drinks, and you love everybody, and you want to do something that you probably shouldn't do and you'll regret in the morning."[3]
"Marry You" was written and produced by Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. The latter and Mars played and recorded all of the instruments on the track. Levine was also responsible for engineering the song at Levcon Studios. The single was mixed by Manny Marroquin and assistants Christian Plata and Erik Madrid at Larrabee Sound Studios in Los Angeles, California. It was mastered by Stephen Marcussen at Marcussen Mastering in Hollywood, California.[1] On August 22, 2011, "Marry You" was released in the United Kingdom via digital download.[4] It was announced on September 13, 2011 that the song would be released in Germany.[5]
Composition
"Marry You" combines elements of pop, doo-wop and soul.[6][4][7] It lasts three minutes and fifty seconds.[8] According to the digital sheet music, it was composed in time signature of common time and in the key of F major with a tempo of 145 beats per minute.[9] The track features double hand-claps,[4] piano,[9] echoing church wedding bells[4][10][11] and a sing-songy chorus.[4] Mars' vocal range spans from C4 to D5.[9] His vocals in the song have been described as "plaintive" and "ach[ing] so gently", while wooing throughout the track.[11][4]
The song has been characterized as possessing a "forceful velocity" and an "instantly hummable melody".[4][12] It was further described as "buoyant", "bubbly" and a "Motown marriage track".[13][14][15] A love song, it lyrically tells about a couple that go to Las Vegas, give up their "capricious impulses" and spontaneously decide to get married.[11][14] Although the song has since become a "classic marriage tune", Lawrence has stated that the writers instead meant to imply a "racy kind of idea".[2] Critics have compared the song to 60's girl groups, to the "spacious drums" of Coldplay, and the "surf pop of The Beach Boys".[6][12][16]
Critical reception
"Marry You" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Digital Spy's Lewis Corner gave it a strong review, rating it four out of five stars, with him labeling it as a song that "would not only impress the Elvis impersonator in any Vegas chapel, but is enough to make him a shoo-in for ultimate seducer of 2011" and a "60s-inspired jive-starter".[4] NPR's Ken Tucker and Emily Yang of The Signal said that the recording's sound was reminiscent of the 60's pop.[16][6] Nina Baniamer of Contactmusic.com found the track's production "epic and ambitious" and called the "anthemic" song "sure fire hit".[10] The Boston Globe critic Ken Capobianco praised the song for its "artfully arranged throwback" and exalted Mars's vocals on his love songs, such as "Marry You".[11] Leah Greenblatt, writing for Entertainment Weekly, stated that "Marry You" has "a malt-shop heart" beating beneath its "digital skin", which shows innovation and creativity.[13] The Independent music critic, Andy Gill, flattered the single by calling it "overly ingratiating".[17] Blues & Soul said that "Marry You" is the second part of Just The Way You Are', similarly the "euphoria gets deployed", there is simplicity on the song which culminate in "the perfect platform for Mars' angst ridden yearning vocals to ride over the top complete with church bells."[7]
In a mixed review, Tim Sendra of Allmusic praised the song's "dynamic and nuanced production", yet founding the track "pleasantly silly".[8] In a negative review, Mike Diver of BBC Music thought confessed that the recording was a "too-clingy and very creepy love song" and noted its lack of inspiration.[18] Similarly, Slant Magazine's Eric Henderson suggested that the song was spun off of Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You", where the word "fuck" was changed to "marry". He further added that the single was a "bizarrely syncopated piledriver".[19]
