The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has awarded Bruno Mars' song "Our First Time" its first certification. The track was certified Gold on October 17, 2025, recognizing 500,000 certified units in the United States. Released by Atlantic Records, the song is a staple from the artist's debut album.
"Our First Time" was released on October 4, 2010, as part of Mars's landmark debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. The song originated as a rough R&B demo in 2008 before being modified and re-recorded with a new beat by Mars's production team, The Smeezingtons. The album itself marked a major commercial breakthrough for the artist, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and achieving global album equivalent sales of 15.5 million. Doo-Wops & Hooligans is certified 6x Platinum by the RIAA and holds the distinction of being the longest-charting debut album on the Top 200.
Peter Gene Hernandez, known professionally as Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer regarded as a pop icon for his musical versatility, retro showmanship, and dynamic live performances with his band, the Hooligans. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mars moved to Los Angeles to pursue music, first gaining prominence as a songwriter and producer. He has since become one of the best-selling artists of all time, earning 15 Grammy Awards and four Guinness World Records. His extensive list of hits includes "Just the Way You Are," "Locked Out of Heaven," and the Mark Ronson collaboration "Uptown Funk."
