The video for “Finesse” is directed by Bruno Mars himself and co-directed by Florent Dechard. It is inspired by one of Bruno Mars’ favorite shows of all time, the 1990s series In Living Color. From the outfits to the dance moves, the video truly paid homage to the show.

Cardi B is popularly known for her hit song “Bodak Yellow.” Her rap lines in the remix take the song to a whole new level, and it is quite fantastic. She has gained a lot of respect, as well, by taking her part in the song. She also said that she had fun working on the video. “It felt like a BBQ,” she tweeted.
“Finesse” is a bop that everyone can surely dance to. If you are into all things ’90s vibes, this video could potentially be your perfect jam.
