Bruno Mars It Will Rain

“It Will Rain” is a song by American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars. It was released on September 27, 2011, by Atlantic Records as the lead single from the soundtrack of the film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Mars composed the song with his production team The Smeezingtons, and it was partially written during the Hooligans in Wondaland Tour in the United States, being finished after the singer watched an early version of the movie which inspired him. The soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 was a much-expected release and Mars’s song was chosen as the lead single by the album’s executive producer, Alexandra Patsavas, to promote it. Musically, “It Will Rain” is a pop and pop-soul ballad. Its lyrics tell the agony and torment of heartbreak and its various stages.

The song received mixed feedback from music critics who praised the vocals but criticized the over-dramatization of the song. It drew comparisons to Mars’s “Grenade” (2010) and “Wild Horses” (1971) by The Rolling Stones. It was commercially successful reaching the top of the charts in the Mainstream Top 40 of the United States, South Korea International Singles and Venezuela Pop/Rock General, number two in New Zealand and top-five in many markets. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Canadian Hot 100. It was certified five-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and three times platinum by Music Canada (MC). It also received a two times platinum certification by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

The music video, directed by Phil Pinto and Mars, prominently features the singer going through different emotions such as love and anger with his lover as they struggle through a break-up. The video is interpolated with footage from the film Breaking Dawn: Part 1, the fourth movie in the Twilight saga. Mars has performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and on The X Factor USA. He also promoted it during The Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour (2010–12), The Moonshine Jungle Tour (2013–14) interpolated with “If I Knew” (2012), and during the 24K Magic World Tour (2017–18) interpolated with “Nothin’ On You” (2010). It has been covered by some artists, including Austin Mahone, Pia Mia, Boyce Avenue and Josh Kaufman on The Voice (U.S. TV series).

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you ever leave me, baby
Leave some morphine at my door
‘Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have
We don’t have it anymore
There’s no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor, oh
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I’m making
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walking out the door

[Chorus]
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it’ll rain
Rain, rain

[Verse 2]
I’ll never be your mother’s favorite
Your daddy can’t even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I’d be doing the same thing
Saying, “There goes my little girl
Walking with that troublesome guy”
But they’re just afraid of something they can’t understand
Ooh, but little darling watch me change their minds
Yeah, for you I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try

[Refrain]
And pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make you mine

[Chorus]
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it’ll rain
Rain, rain

[Bridge]
Ooh, don’t you say (Don’t you say)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Don’t you say (Don’t you say)
Goodbye (Goodbye)

[Refrain]
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make it right

[Chorus]
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
And there’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
And just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it’ll rain
Rain, rain
