“Finesse” is the 8th song on Bruno Mars' album 24K Magic.

Bruno Mars first talked about the song in an interview with Rolling Stone saying that:

The next day, Mars is back in the studio to fix some of the mistakes he heard last night. First on the agenda is a song called “Finesse.” “There’s just some things fucking the groove up,” he says. “Anytime you see us, on tour, on TV, I want to be moving … I was very conscious on this album of the bounce.”
Mars opens his laptop and pulls up the latest version – the 20th or so, he guesses. He threw out one where he sang about gold chains and cognac over a silky beat (too corny), and another for sounding too much “like a Seventies cop show – like I should be on roller skates.” This version he’s finally happy with; he just needs to fix the bridge. There’s something bugging him about the harmonies, or maybe the chord progression. “I don’t know what’s not hitting home. There’s just something weird that I ain’t fucking with yet.” He jabs at his Korg keyboard in frustration. “I just have to open it up.”

The opening drum pattern of “Finesse” takes direct inspiration from the intro to Bell Biv Devoe’s 1990 new jack swing classic “Poison.”

A remix of this song was released On January 4th 2018, featuring Cardi B.
