Uptown Funk was released in 2014 by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars and quickly became one of the most recognisable funk-pop songs of the decade, topping charts around the world and winning major awards. Its retro soul sound, inspired by 1980s funk, made it a staple at parties, sports events and celebrations long after its release. On short-form video platforms, short excerpts like this one are reused as instant mood-setters, because listeners identify the groove immediately and associate it with confidence, fun and dancing.
