After Last Night (with Thundercat & Bootsy Collins)
This soulful song talks about how the duo will give the woman they were with last night the world and more. Bootsy Collins starts of the song and puts his flavor into the mix. Not to mention Thundercat, a multi-talented bass player, producer and singer-songwriter, added his artistry into the mix.
The song that REALLY started it off the making of the album. The song was an idea the duo had five years ago when they were on tour. It came to fruition, and it was well worth the wait. The song could be interpreted as how. Paak and Mars got played by the women they thought were only for them but in reality, she belongs to everybody and must be given back to the city. Take it as you will but the song is funny and the music video was a vibe. The song is a personal favorite.
Put On A Smile
The beautifully sad ballad got the duo calling out to their significant lover telling them that they need them and that without them they have to put up a smile, so people think they’re okay when in reality they’re dying inside.

A song that makes you want to buy roller skates and head out to town. The duo is admiring the women skating around them and telling them to skate towards them. That’s exactly how the music video is as women skate around the band as they play their instruments to them. The song is fun and celebrates a good time.
