What is the title of Bruno Mars's debut EP?
Answer
It's Better If You Don't Understand
The title of Bruno Mars’s debut EP is “It’s Better If You Don’t Understand.”
Released digitally on May 11, 2010, the four-track EP introduced Mars as a solo artist after his songwriting and guest-vocal work for artists including B.o.B and Travie McCoy. Its title comes from the closing lyric of “The Other Side,” one of the project’s songs.
The EP was produced primarily by the Smeezingtons, the team consisting of Mars, Philip Lawrence, and Ari Levine. Its tracks—“Somewhere in Brooklyn,” “The Other Side,” “Count on Me,” and “Talking to the Moon”—were later connected to Mars’s first studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. “Somewhere in Brooklyn” appeared as a deluxe-edition bonus track, while the other three were on the standard album.
A common mix-up is calling it Mars’s debut album. It was his debut extended play; Doo-Wops & Hooligans, released later in 2010, was his debut studio album. The EP reached number 99 on the Billboard 200.
