Directed by Cameron Duddy and Mars, the video was released in February 2013. Featuring a 1970s aesthetic, it shows a "lonely balladeer" at a piano, with critics praising its simple, emotional focus.

The track received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance and won "Favorite Hit" at the 2013 Premios Juventud. Its legacy was highlighted by its 2023 resurgence following the release of Miley Cyrus's "Flowers".

Released in January 2013, the song was written by Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, and Andrew Wyatt, with production by The Smeezingtons.
