Central Catholic was just one of the schools that sent student volunteers out to cook, prepare, dish, and serve food. Interact club’s co-president Rachel Gerber, junior, plated the food during the event. “I like how direct the contact is,” Gerber said. “You’re there [and] you’re just doing something good. It’s simple, it’s easy, you can feel good about it.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/interact-1-edited-1200x744.jpg)

Bruno Mars and Sexyy Red teamed up for a collaboration, and their new song, “Fat Juicy & Wet” sparked internet conversation. The song mixes Sexyy Red’s edgy vibe with Mars’ versatile singing.
Bruno Mars, born Peter Gene Hernandez, began his journey as a young musician in Honolulu, Hawaii, and has grown into a pop star. Bruno Mars has performed for fans across the globe.. His “24K Magic World Tour” took him to places like New York City and London. With hit songs like “Just the Way You Are” with 2.5 billion streams and “Uptown Funk,” with 2.2 billion streams that sing about topics such as love and heartbreak, Mars has a discography that can appeal to all ages.
Fans on platforms such as X, formerly known as Twitter, were surprised by the lyrics from Mars but many enjoyed his new song. Users like @Silver_lion021 expressed their opinion online.
“People are shocked to see this side of Bruno as if ‘Bubble Butt’ doesn’t exist. I like his new song, obviously not the best Bruno song of all time but it’s a fun party/club song,” @Silver_lion021 wrote.
However, users like Old-Masterpiece1450 prefer Mars’ older music.
“I too am disappointed in Bruno’s new song. So disrespectful and just plain wrong,” @Old-Masterpiece1450 wrote.
Some compared this new song to Mars’s earlier work with Cardi B, the song “Please Me.” One fan, @Practical-Tension-20 on X, briefly expressed their opinion to the internet.
“Bruno you on top dawg ain’t gotta prove it, you don’t need attention seeking songs it isn’t your vibe, leave the WAP to Cardi B,” they wrote.
When I heard Bruno Mars’s latest song “Fat Juicy & Wet,” I felt like it didn’t showcase what I generally love about his music. It seemed like he was trying something different when it came to his singing techniques, but it didn’t click for me. I miss the feelings and emotions that his older songs gave me. Songs like “When I Was Your Man” and “Grenade” always connected with me in a special way, making them favorites that never get old. I know artists need to try new things and evolve, but I hope Bruno Mars can find a way to keep the sound that fans, including myself, love.
Some people are arguing about how deep the lyrics of the song really are, but others are praising Mars for trying something new. Some fans think this teamwork shows how flexible he can be, while others wonder if it fits with what he usually does. “Fat Juicy & Wet” already has about 40.8 million streams with many fans around the world voicing their opinions on the song.
To sum it up, Bruno Mars’ new song didn’t quite hit the mark for me. While the music is catchy and well-produced, the lyrics don’t have the same impact as his past work. The song’s melody is strong enough to stand on its own, but the words just don’t add much to the experience.The attempt to be edgy feels more like a risk that didn’t pay off.
