Watch Karol G & Bruno Mars Get Cozy & Playful Backstage in Sweet Video for ‘Still’
Developing story first seen 5 hours ago
Karol G and Bruno Mars have released the official music video for their collaboration "Still," released on Wednesday, September 2, offering behind-the-scenes footage from their first-ever live performance of the track. The video was filmed around their 15 August performance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, part of Karol G's Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour, and captures candid moments between the pair alongside a glimpse of the show itself in front of more than 50,000 fans.
Shot largely in black-and-white before switching to colour for the live performance, the clip shows the two artists laughing together, sharing a dressing-room moment, riding a utility cart backstage and rehearsing on stage. "Still" appears on Karol G's album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, which debuted at number one on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart and number eight on the Billboard 200; the all-English, 1980s synthwave-inspired power ballad marks a departure for the Spanish-language star, who has said the song "found her" organically. Karol G's North American tour continues through 15 October before expanding into Latin America and Europe with over 60 dates scheduled through July 2027, while Mars continues his own 115-date The Romantic Tour.

Karol G and Bruno Mars are the two artists at the centre of this story. Karol G is a Colombian singer known for reggaeton and Latin pop, while Bruno Mars is a US singer-songwriter with a career spanning pop, funk and R&B. The pair have teamed up on a song called "Still", which features on Karol G's latest album, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto.
The song stands out because it is sung entirely in English and takes its sound from 1980s synth-pop, a departure for Karol G, who usually records in Spanish. The album itself has performed strongly commercially, topping Billboard's Latin albums chart and reaching the top ten of the wider Billboard 200.
Both artists are currently on major world tours, Karol G's Tropitour and Mars's Romantic Tour, and their live debut of "Still" took place at a large stadium show in Los Angeles. That performance forms the backdrop to the video now being discussed.
Full account
Karol G and Bruno Mars have released a music video for their duet 'Still', built around footage captured on 15 August when Mars made a surprise appearance during the Colombian star's Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The clip, shared on Wednesday 2 September, was assembled from hours of behind-the-scenes filming taken before, during and after what was the song's first live performance, alongside footage of the pair's set on stage that night.
Shot largely in black and white before switching to colour for the live performance sequence, the video shows the two artists sharing lighthearted moments around the venue: laughing together in the empty stadium seats, larking about in a golf buggy or utility cart, running through the song backstage with an acoustic guitar, and rehearsing on stage together. The footage then bursts into colour to capture their performance in front of a stadium crowd reported to number more than 50,000.
'Still' features on Karol G's latest record, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, which opened at number one on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart and number eight on the all-genre Billboard 200. Described as a synthwave-tinged power ballad with a nostalgic, neon-lit feel, it is one of the few tracks on the album performed entirely in English, with the pair singing of a love that endures even after a relationship has ended. Karol has said the song came to her organically and reflected exactly what she was going through at the time, while also explaining she wanted at least one English-language track to reach listeners, including newer, non-Spanish-speaking fans, who might encounter her music at festivals such as Coachella. She has also described travelling to catch Mars while he was on tour so the two could record together at short notice.
The video arrives as both artists continue extensive touring schedules. Karol G's stadium run continues through mid-October with North American dates including Chicago, Washington D.C. and Las Vegas, before the tour heads to Latin America and Europe, with more than 60 shows booked into 2027. Mars, meanwhile, remains on the road with his own Romantic Tour in support of his chart-topping fourth solo album, The Romantic, a run said to span more than 115 stadium shows worldwide.
Where outlets differ
One outlet frames the video's release itself as the news, focusing on the finished product, its black-and-white-to-colour structure, chart performance and touring schedules, citing a press release for the 50,000-strong crowd figure.
The other frames the story more around the surprise nature of Mars's live guest appearance, describing him as departing from his own tour, and leans more heavily on Karol G's own quotes to Rolling Stone about the whirlwind recording process and her reasons for wanting an English-language track.
Small descriptive differences exist in how backstage moments are described — one source mentions a 'utility cart', the other 'go-karts' — suggesting differing interpretations of the same footage rather than a factual disagreement.
Only one source explicitly names upcoming tour stops for Karol G (San Antonio, El Paso, Boston, New York, Atlanta, Houston) and for Mars (Boston), while the other gives broader, longer-range touring detail (cities through October, overall show counts into 2027).
