He sold Take the Long Way Home to 98 Degrees, it's one of my favorite unreleased tracks.
Quote:
Review: “98 Degrees selected songs from mostly little-known, up-and-coming writers. But there are a couple from contemporary soul/R&B stars. The Bruno Mars tune, “Take the Long Way Home”, is 98 Degrees at its sensual ballad best, with vocal tricks as sharp as ever. Mars also does guitar work on the track.”
That's why all the good videos of the song were deleted from youtube.
