I was told he is the reason this song is a hit. What happened?

because it's Gaga's song first and foremost

it's LADY GAGA & Bruno Mars, in that order. not BRUNO MARS & Lady Gaga

Because he simply wasnt included? It's that simple.

It's a Lady Gaga song. The GP knows it.

Because unlike GaGa he didn't need extra SB exposure.

The song originated from an idea by Bruno Mars, which was further developed with D'Mile and James Fauntleroy before being finished with Lady Gaga

in interview Bruno has said he wrote the melody and thought of Gaga. This is Bruno's song despite Gaga name being first. In writing credits Bruno name is first. Bruno owns the majority of the royalty checks. Love Gaga but she's no Bruno.

Hes busy with a solo smash hit. Whynwould he promote a almost 2 years old song?

Because it's the biggest song of the decade and one of the most successful songs of all time!

OT: Because Bad Bunny is a little monster and wanted her in his career-defining moment as an artist.

Because the song was written with intent for Harlequin so it's a Gaga song. Bruno wrote a little more to help Estefani finish the song (English was her second language).

Because Gaga was the wedding singer

He doesn't need the promo, unlike Gaga.

Because Benito didn't ask him to be there

Some of you overthink things more than Wish

He's got 2 performances at the Grammys this year, it's enough

It wasn't a good song choice anyway, considering all these ICE raids and daylight killing of innocent people. She could've use more appropriate song to celebrate the culture and truly use that huge event to set a statement

How many artists have hit the halftime stage more than twice?

Because it is a Lady Gaga feat. bruno Mars song

We love Bruno, but DWAS is a lead single from Lady Gaga's HIT album "Mayhem".

He wasn't invited

But GaGa also performed at the GRAMMYs. She had the GRAMMYS + SBHTS this year.

flop after flopped

Why would he be invited to perform a song featured on Gaga's album with a music video uploaded onto Gaga's YouTube account?

I feel like he was asked (because he is half Puerto Rican) but just decided not to do it because he's done the Superbowl twice already so Gaga just went solo...

...but it was probably him that made that 500k bet that Gaga would be there...
