Uptown Funk

2010s dance anthem

"Uptown Funk" is a 2014 funk and pop song by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars, known for its retro sound echoing 1980s funk and its infectious hook.

The song became a cultural phenomenon, spending fourteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100.

The phrase sometimes appears as shorthand for exuberant, throwback-style swagger: She walked in with that uptown funk energy.
