Which Bruno Mars single won Song of the Year at the 2018 Grammy Awards?

The story behind the answer

“That’s What I Like” won Song of the Year at the 2018 Grammy Awards.

The Bruno Mars single received the award at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, held in January 2018. The category honors songwriting, so the Grammy recognized Mars and his co-writers Christopher Brody Brown, James Fauntleroy, Philip Lawrence, Ray Charles McCullough II, Jeremy Reeves, Ray Romulus and Jonathan Yip—not simply the performer alone.

“That’s What I Like” was released in 2017 as the second single from Mars’s third studio album, 24K Magic. Its sleek R&B and funk-influenced production, luxury imagery and catchy chorus helped make it one of the album’s biggest successes. At the same ceremony, Mars also won Record of the Year and Song of the Year was one of his major victories.

A common mix-up is confusing Song of the Year with Record of the Year. “That’s What I Like” won both categories in 2018, while 24K Magic won Album of the Year. “Finesse” and “Versace on the Floor” were also associated with the album era but did not win this award.
