Silk Sonic, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, made "Smokin' Out the Window" the third single from their debut album, An Evening with Silk Sonic, on November 5, 2021. They wrote it with D'Mile, who produced it with Mars, and it's a lavish, tongue-in-cheek slice of '70s-inspired R&B and soul, its narrator nursing a heart broken by a cheating lover. The credits are full dress: strings, horns, Ella Feingold's vibraphone, Homer Steinweiss on drums and Bootsy Collins among the voices.
It went top five on the Billboard Hot 100 and double platinum in the US, though critics split over it. Mars and John Esparza shot the video, which plants the duo on a vintage TV stage, with .Paak faking his own death mid-song, and it took the top video prize at both the 2022 BET Awards and the Soul Train Music Awards.
