Singer Bruno Mars believes that 95 per cent of music is about love.

The "Just the way you are" hitmaker believes music was created for "guys and girls to get together", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"The girls I liked weren't listening to Elvis. They were listening to New Edition, Boyz II Men. So that's where I started changing. It absolutely worked. Any musician will say that's what they got into it for. That's why I'm doing it," Mars told The Sunday Times' Culture magazine.

"If you ask me, 95 per cent of music is about love. Cavemen hitting rocks and sticks around the fire so the guys and girls can get together, and magic happens. That's what music was built for," he added.

The 31-year-old also said that he hopes to be remembered for his music and not for any "scandals or controversy".

"I hope that my music does the talking. I just wanna do music. It could be boring for people this day and age, but I don't wanna be known for no scandals or controversy. I want to be the guy that brings joy to your life through his music. That's it."
