The song won two Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year. It became the second best-selling single of 2015 and one of the best-selling of all-time. 'Uptown Funk' spent 14 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, seven non-consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and topped the charts in several other countries including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland and New Zealand. Copyright controversies arose after the song's release, with multiple lawsuits and amendments to its songwriting credits. The song features heavy inspiration from the Minneapolis sound of 1980s-era funk music, having a spirit akin to works by Prince as well as Morris Day and The Time. Several music critics noted its similarity with popular music from the 1980s. American bands Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and Antibalas perform horn parts on the song, while the song's lyrics interpolate a line from rapper Trinidad James' song ' All Gold Everything' (2012). Ronson and Mars recorded it at multiple different locations worldwide, ranging from recording studios to dressing rooms. The song went through many different incarnations, and was worked on for months. This is Mars' fourth collaboration with Ronson (following Mars' own songs ' Locked Out of Heaven', ' Moonshine', and ' Gorilla') and sixth with Bhasker (after ' Talking to the Moon', ' Young Girls' and the three previously mentioned songs). Jeff Bhasker assisted the artists in co-writing and co-producing the track, with additional writing from Philip Lawrence. RCA Records released the song as the album's lead single on 10 November 2014.

' Uptown Funk' (stylised as ' UpTown Funk!') is a song recorded by British record producer Mark Ronson and American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars, for Ronson's fourth studio album, Uptown Special (2015).
