Bruno Mars has joked that one of his new songs is about Halle Berry.

The music maestro released the track 'Locked Out Of Heaven' as the lead track from his forthcoming second album 'Unorthodox Jukebox'.

It contains the raunchy line 'your sex takes me to paradise' and Capital FM took it upon themselves to enquire what the lyric was about.

Mars replied with tongue slightly in cheek that the line was a reference to a popular actress. He said:

"I might as well just say it – Halle Berry."

As previously reported, Mars recently uploaded new song 'When I Was Your Man' onto YouTube.

The track is the second to be lifted from his forthcoming new album, which is set for a December 10 release in the UK.
