This ballad is the lead single from the soundtrack to the movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and is performed by American Pop singer Bruno Mars. He penned the tune whilst out on the road and produced it with his Smeezingtons production colleagues, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. It was released exclusively on iTunes September 27, 2011.
Mars had already started on the song before he got the call to contribute to the film's soundtrack. After seeing the movie, he thought that it would be "a perfect fit."
Speaking to Billboard magazine, Mars explained that "the Twilight movies, "for me [are] a love story. But it's a dark love story. And I think the best way to describe the song is: it's the darker side of love. I think that pretty much sums it up. 'It Will Rain' started off with me and the guitar, and I just had this melody in my head and basically laid it down after I saw the film."
