Karol G and Bruno Mars are giving the people what they want.
Hours before Mars made a surprise appearance at the Colombian singer’s concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the pair got together to film various scenes together for the swoon-worthy “Still” music video.
Karol, 35, and Mars, 40, dropped the music video on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and it was filmed almost entirely in black and white. Throughout the video, the pair trade lyrics back and forth in the green room, they go-kart backstage and they get cozy with one another in the seats of the empty stadium.

“I’d still sleep in your sweater / Still feel you in the dark / I’d still keep all your letters / I won’t tear them apart / I’d still hope you were happy,” Karol sings in the chorus. “Even though it’d be hard / ‘Cause I’d still love you / Even with a broken heart / Even with a broken heart (Heart).”
Eventually, the music video cuts to their live debut of the song on Aug. 15 in front of more than 50,000 screaming fans.
“Still” was featured on Karol’s latest studio album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, which translates to English as I Don’t Regret Feeling So Much.
Speaking with Rolling Stone about the album, the “Tusa” singer said that recording a song with the “Uptown Funk” singer was “something I still can’t believe.”
“I feel like what happened with this song is that I really fell in love with it, and I really wanted to include a song in English on my album where I was speaking to a specific audience,” Karol told the outlet. “If I had the opportunity to connect differently, like, now that we’re going to Coachella and you start to see that there’s a new audience and might not speak Spanish at all.”
In an Aug. 7 TikTok, the “Provenza” singer opened up about singing entirely in English.

“I don’t want people to just see it as, ‘Oh, Karol G’s new English song,’” Karol said. “I’ve always been open to making music in other languages without pressure, as long as it flows and happens organically and naturally and, well, that song found me. It expressed exactly what I was feeling and how I was feeling it. It was literally perfect for what I was going through, and I listened to it constantly. I tried to overthink it, but it was perfect — I hope it touches many people’s hearts.”
Karol is currently on the road for her Viajando Por El Mundo TropiTour, which is in support of her latest album. Mars is also on the road in support of his new album The Romantic.
