Anderson .Paak - Make It Better (ft. Smokey Robinson) (Official Video) 

For old Anderson .Paak fans, welcome back. For new Anderson .Paak fans, welcome. This is what you’ve been missing ❤️

His manager knew Smokey, sent the rough demo to him, Smokey's daughter told her father Anderson was cool. Smokey called him back to link up. Smokey changed all the curse words to nice words and coached Anderson on his vocals to get this beautiful love song.

to everyone watching after "leave the door open" and just got introduced to AP, y'all found a diamond in the rough. paak is straight magic.

who else is here not because of “Leave The Door Open” but cuz anderson .paak always been the goat

Man, this is one of the most heartwarming and romantic tunes I’ve heard in awhile. It avoids the usual romantic tropes and keeps it refreshingly simple: we once loved each other unconditionally, and we can do it again.

imma take this L for sleeping on Anderson Paak, he is really talented

“And it’s *easier* to run away, then to look for what would make you stay...” Facts 💯 ❤️

If you’re just finding out about Anderson .Paak, I implore you to watch his NPR Tiny Desk concert. It’s amazing, and he sings while leading the band on drums... it’s a masterclass

Anderson's paak. Gonna be the artist I tell my kids "you dont know nothing bout this" 😂

Great message, and after being married for ten years i think it is beautiful for people to hear this. People have to grow and change as they get older and your relationship grows and changes, too. Sometimes you go through things and your romantic life takes the back seat- doesn’t mean you can’t get it back. There is so much about being with the same person that is amazing and I hope people start to see that and stop treating each other like they are disposable. I know that my friends are envious of the relationship my husband and i have because they are wishing they had it in their life and now see it as a deficit in some ways- young people: the grass isn’t greener, find a good person and stick with them. Love is a choice, no fairy tale stuff

Although he definitely stands on his own as a rapper; being an r&b/soul crooner suits him much better.

Thanks to his new joint with Bruno. I'm an instant fan.

Smokeys voice on background gives this joint an old skool vibe. "Feel good, don't it?" 😍😍

True relationship is all about falling in love multiple times, but with the same person ❤️

The one that loves the most is the one that gets hurt the most. The love only survives if both of you are willing to renegotiate the relationship and make it work. Good luck to everybody who's going through tough times in a relationship and trying to keep it together. 🤙

This needs to be on a movie soundtrack. Straight up.

Finally, storytelling has returned to music videos.

"It's easier to walk away, then to look for what would make you stay"... I think quite a few people goes through this exact situation

That's why music from Smokey's era will never die... It's what kept many homes together during rough times.

Who's here after "Leave the Door Open"?

Dude these lyrics. Taking it out of the puppylove lyric trope, and pushing it into how to keep a relationship alive after the puppylove has faded. Love it. First Began by PJ Morton has a similar message and is super dope too.

For those of you who discovered AP from leave the door open....I'm jealous. You get to fall in love with his music for the first time🥺🔥

Imagine a collab between him and Leon Bridges on his soul shit.

This song is clearly about his marriage. So sad to hear of a divorce after 13 years of marriage.

Talk about positive comments on positive comments, that's how you know that real soul is back

Can't help but think Common would drop the smoothest verse on this track

Paak back on the smooth shit! I think I'm gonna like Ventura a lot more than Oxnard

This man got a soulful voice.

This is definitely the album for summer car rides with the windows down

Smokey is the real Goat. His musical track record is unbelievable. He's been performing since the 1950s till this day. That is one a hell of a music career and he still Sounds amazing.I Such an epic signature voice and to me, he is the greatest song writer of all time.

Great song. I wish Smokey had a cameo though. He is a living legend that won't be truly appreciated till he is gone.

Anderson Paaks voice sounds like sitting around the fire on christmas sipping hot cocoa.

1:39 we jus gonna let this dude levitate or what

Yes Lawd!!!! (Anderson Paak voice) Man this is my current situation...this song is on time! Thank you brotha for your gift!!

as soon as the drum break came in i knew this was it.

This is the first time im listening to an Anderson .Paak track, besides his collaborative project with Bruno. I was really fond of Anderson’s voice in those songs and after a bit, I’ve decided to give him a full chance of listening to his own work and notable percussion of his drums.

I was feeling the song/video, but the squirrels sealed the deal

So glad that Bruno let me discover this talent!!! I’ve missed out a lot for sure

Love how its feels like a real life love story and not just a fairy tale, every relationship has problems, they can make better

Whoever filmed this did dope work on many levels! Loved the moss covered wall that Anderson was walking in front of with the sun peaking through the trees in the background and the squirrels running down it.

this video is so great simply because of the well-done, authentic acting. loved it.

Thanks Smokey Robinson to show to young people how made good music... OLD SCHOOL POWERFUL .

Paak is one of those artist that if you start listening you go on a listening spree

Where has this man been my whole existence

Anderson Paak feat Smokey Robinson . Produced Alchemist , Fred Wreck 🏆

Smokey Robinson worked his magic on this tune, cleaned it up and made another hit. That's genius.

I was listening to „leave the door open“ and thought „wow - who‘s the drummer?!“ and then listening to the first lyrics and thought „wow - who sings that so smoothly and cool?!“ - and then found out - Anderson .Paak doing both of it - a real gem there I found!!!

I'm glad I decided to find out more about this awesome young man. His voice an style is incredible. I see why Bruno wanted to partner with him two gifted young man

1. Best teef in the game. 2. Heart warming soul (those Smokey vocals!!) 3. Not a butt cheek in sight. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Well done Mr .Paak, and THANK YOU.

How the hell he gonna release a song about shit I'm going thru right now, 😢hit me hard I'm all sad and stuff

I need that new NxWorries album.

How do you mend when you worlds apart? Ooh, carry on Ooh, from the start Somehow, we fell in love, then fell right out of touch And ooh, that was hard But ooh, here we are And it's easier to walk away Than to look for what would make you stay Remember when we first met? We were having so much fun So, now, how can we both forget Telling each other, "We're the one"? We would make love (We would make love) At the drop of a hat Remember that? (Yeah) I remember you and me (You and me) Close as any two can be (Two can be) Now we're strangers in the night (Strangers) Awkward in the tight Oh baby, do you want to make it better? Do you want to stay together? Hey, if you do Then let's please Make some new Memories When you take somebody for your own It can't survive on history alone Meet me at the hotel, motel Though we got a room at home Go to a place that we don't know so well It be nice, add a little spice Try some new seduction Show each other how Give each other new instructions On what makes us Feel good Now I just wanna make you feel good now Do you want to make it better? Do you want to stay together? And it's easier to run away Than to look for what would make you stay Do you want to make it better? Do you want to stay together? If you do Then let's please Make some new Memories Do you want to make it better? Do you want to stay together? If you do Then let's please Make some new Memories Do you want to make it better? Do you want to stay together? If you do Then let's please Make some new Memories Do you want to make it better? Do you want to stay together?

His smile is so contagious. I played this entire album while on a road trip with my mom and she loved it. I appreciate artists who can transcend generations.

I can tell Smokey Robinson was all over this song just by the beat.

“And it’s easier to run away then to look for what would make you stay.”

"It's easier to walk away, than to look for what would make you stay." Whew! Now that is a line!

I just discovered this dude a couple months ago. I feel like I've been living under a fucking rock for not knowing about him sooner! I'm a music snob, and this guy is one of the greatest musicians I've ever seen/heard.

Ok I'd never heard of Anderson Paak 😀 until he was mentioned in Smokey Robinson's life story. What a tune!!!! You can hear Smokey's influence on the track.

anderson paak is heavily underrated, hes a legend of this generations rnb

I literally just gave my laptop screen a round of applause. Class.

cant believe ppl are just now hearing his music lol. so glad he’s gettin some deserved recognition; too many underrated artists in the game rn

Heard it just now in a barbershop and I love the song. New fan. His voice is beautiful

I love seeing .Paak fans being healthy and not gatekeeping the fanbase

this video is pure love. damn i love how this female actress smiles it looks so real!

Great job, Anderson Colgate .Paak

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the squirrel chasing after the other one fits perfectly In the shot of Anderson delivering flowers. Both chasing after something fleeing away. In Anderson’s case, his love life with his girl. 2:17

The Alchemist BLESS this track. Lawd Jesus!!!

That girl got style.. I'm taking notes 📝

I'm here after Bruno's and Andy's song!! This song is so good! Didn't skip a bit!! This is the first song I listened of him!! He's so fine as in the song leave the door open!! I'm now a new fan of you too Andy!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘

Man I heard about this song from Smokey’s interview on Vlad. Looked it up and now I’m in awe.

Real musician making real music about real life struggles. Watching this makes me appreciate my girl even more. If you’re reading this go tell your loved ones you love them! You never know when is their last day.

Y'all have been sleeping on Andy, and now my man is getting the recognition he deserves

I came here for "leave the door open' But I use to hear this song on the radio and never knew this was the guy singing with Bruno..oh well, now I GOT to look up his other stuff..he's the man!

Now Anderson Paak has been out there for a while and give a brother his due but when you can keep up with Bruno Mars, going toe to toe, you're a hero in my book, WELL DONE!!!!

SILK SONIC brought me here,never even knew the dude but I AM LOVING EVERYTHING I’VE HEARD FROM HIM…He is very Good and he compliments BRUNO MARS fully.

Cant belive I hadn't stumbled on him before. This is amazing.

The song hits harder when you're in the same situation.😔

Never heard of Paak I'm old school, but smoking out the window appeared on my feed and I clicked on it..... Wow! Is all I can say....

can we talk about how gorgeous the actress is

Reminds me a lot of something that would be on John Legend's 2004 album "Get Lifted," but with a little more funk and amazing drums. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite new artists!

I'm so glad you and bruno became a great duo. I had never heard your music. Silk Sonic made me look you up. I love your voice. Great songs. Great lyrics.

Him and Gambino are heading the Motown/Soul revival.

I'm glad GOD put this type of instruction on his heart. So sweet and soothing.

Nothing hits harder than that real old school love.

He is very good. Thanks Bruno for exposing. I would have never checked him out. He's different.

Someone please explain how you couldn't LOVE this song. It's perfection. Blending old and neo soul flawlessly. *chef's kiss"👌

Man, I am old enough to be his grandmother, but I appreciate this so much!! My son (who is old enough to be Paak's father) sent me the albums, and I AM HOOKED!! Keep it up kid, and do your thing!!

I thought Anderson Paak was just a rapper & I'm not a rap fan. However, I am die-hard Bruno fan & discovered Anderson Paak. Paak is so talented. I don't know how I missed this song since it has the old school vibe I love. I just bought & downloaded the MP3 from Amazon. I look forward to rest of the Silk Sonic songs. I've subscribed to Paak's RU-vid channel.

His keyboard player is GOLD...never let him go!

"its easier to run away then to look for what would make you stay" been living in these words for to long! We all out here living the same experiences intermittently.

sweet sounding music. reminding me of some Marvin

This song is how my boyfriend got me back . Two years ago. We are 7 yrs strong today. I love this song so much. 💕

This is for me and my baby miss him so much passed away 6 years ago everything I do I think of him there is no one else better 😂

Smokey Robinson is still a genius💯! He still got the writing, producing skills after being in the business for more than a half a Century! You Go, Smokey💖!

I question anyone's sanity who doesn't like this!! you're a demon with no soul if you don't rock with this! this album's gonna be classic! ppl throw that word around a lot, but this truly will be, when Smokey Robinson co-signs you already know!!🙏🏿

He underrated they should've been crowned this dude. Dre always pick correct

This song should have way more views ✋🏾 I swear I can listen on repeat 🔂

Best drummer of our generation. This guy’s got pockets for days.

Just sent this to my wife. This is feel good love music.

Anderson.Pak got the great Smokey Robinson on this track bridging the gap ❤️
