Which hip-hop duo released 'Lighters' featuring Bruno Mars?

Bad Meets Evil released “Lighters,” featuring Bruno Mars. The duo is made up of Eminem and Royce da 5'9", and the song became one of the best-known tracks from their 2011 collaboration.

The song began as a Royce da 5'9" recording intended for his album Success Is Certain. After Eminem heard it, he wrote his verse and helped turn it into a Bad Meets Evil track. The duo then worked with Bruno Mars in Los Angeles, where Mars added vocals and helped reshape the arrangement.

“Lighters” appeared on Hell: The Sequel, Bad Meets Evil’s first full-length project. It was released as a single in June 2011 and combines rap verses with Mars’s melodic chorus. A common mix-up is to credit the song to Eminem alone because of his prominent role, but the official artist credit is Bad Meets Evil featuring Bruno Mars.
