Why did Bruno mars write the song when I was your man?

Answer 1

Bruno Mars is an inspired and very successful songwriter. Sometimes, songwriters will in fact use a real life experience in a song, like the break-up of a relationship or losing someone in a tragic accident. But at other times, songwriters will write about events that are universally understood, situations that we have all gone through at one time or other. Many people have realized all too late that they messed up a relationship by not paying enough attention to the other person until the person had left; in fact, many other songs have been written about this same theme. Whether or not Bruno Mars actually did lose a girlfriend because he ignored her needs (or perhaps he knew someone who had made this mistake), the song is a hit because so many people can relate to it.
