QUESTION #1: Emotional Assessments
* INTRO: The intro exudes a very uplifting, fun, and confident mood especially as it progresses. I like how vibrant the bass and precise the bass are.
* VERSE: I like how the verse maintains the groovy and classic funk, which is common for Bruno Mars’ songs. It also evokes a sense of nostalgia, which is brought about by the song performance and groove of the 90s.
* CHORUS: I like how the chorus is able to create a sense of euphoria and celebration, with its catchy melody and dense musical mix.
* BRIDGE: The bridge gives a more interesting mix to the song as it puts forward a slight shift from a euphoric mood to a more reflective and introspective approach.
