Grenade is a powerful pop and R&B ballad by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, released on September 28, 2010, as the second single from his debut studio album, *Doo-Wops & Hooligans* (2010). The song explores the theme of unrequited love, with Mars expressing his willingness to go to extreme lengths for someone who doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. The accompanying music video, directed by Nabil Elderkin, features Mars dragging an upright piano through Los Angeles, symbolizing the heavy burden of his unreturned affection. The track achieved significant commercial success, topping charts in multiple countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. In 2020, “Grenade” was certified Diamond by the RIAA, signifying over 10 million units sold in the U.S.
