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' "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).

Background

Bruno Mars started writing the song while he was on the Hooligans in Wondaland Tour, "I was just writing to write. I had my guitar with me on tour when I was in the States. I never finished it", he explained.[1] Afterwards he got a call to provide something to the soundtrack,[2] the singer saw some scenes of "Breaking Dawn" and thought to himself "that song I started might be perfect for this".[1] He admitted to have the tune halfway done before visualizing an early cut of the film and, inspired by its characters, put together the finishing touches.[3] In an interview with Billboard, he went on detail "I just had this melody in my head and basically laid it down after I saw the film." He had to watch "most of the movie" to feel "the vibe", as well as its direction.[2]

At the time of the Billboard interview, on September 23, 2011, Mars was unaware of the placement of his song in the movie, he hopefully said "As long as it's not after the credits. I hope it's in a good (scene)!".[2] Later, on November 7, 2011, the singer "hinted" that the single might feature in one of the movie's most pivotal scenes.[1] Before the release of the song, Mars described it as having the same vein as the movies, "the 'Twilight' movies for me (are) a love story. But it's a dark love story", therefore the track is "the darker side of love."[2] He explained that "It Will Rain" is just to be featured on the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" soundtrack and not his second studio album, "I did this for the 'Twilight' soundtrack, then this is for the 'Twilight' soundtrack".[2]

Alexandra Patsavas, music supervisor for the Twilight films, explained the choice of Mars was due to the wedding, in which Part 1 is centered, "who more appropriate than Bruno Mars to write a timeless, classic wedding song?"[3] The Breaking Dawn – Part 1 soundtrack was released on November 8, 2011.[1] "It Will Rain" is the third song featured in the end credits of, the franchise's fourth movie, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.[3][4]

Production and release

"It Will Rain " was written and produced by Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine, whom are collectively known as The Smeezingtons. Engineering for "It Will Rain" took place at the Levcon Studios, while the mixing was done at Larrabee Sound Studios, both in Los Angeles, California. Along with the song's composition, Levine also engineered the track. Phredley Brown did the arrangement of the strings, Oscar Hidalgo played the pass, Andrew Duckles was responsible for the viola, Charlie Bisharat played the violin with Josefina Vergara, and Suzie Katayama conducted the orchestra. The mixing team included Manny Marroquin, Chris Galland and Erik Madrid, the latter two served as assistants. It was mastered by Stephen Marcussen at Marcussen Mastering in Hollywood, California.[5]

"It Will Rain" was first made available worldwide, excepted in the United Kingdom, as an iTunes exclusive via digital download on September 27, 2011 by Atlantic Records. On the same day, the single could be listened on Mars official website.[6][7] Atlantic Records sent the track to American contemporary hit radios playlists on October 4, 2011.[8] On October 28, 2011, the song was released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as a CD single by Elektra Records and in the United Kingdom via digital download on October 31, 2011.[6][9]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

"It Will Rain" is a pop and pop-soul ballad.[10][11][12] Its instrumentation is reminiscent of "Wild Horses" (1971) by The Rolling Stones and Mars' "Grenade" (2010).[13] The song's main structure is backed by piano, percussion that resembles an 80's drum track, backup vocals, a "digital echo" on Mars' voice and "sweeping strings".[14][15][16] It starts with a piano chord in a menacing, dissonant crescendo with "solemn chord progression" and "haunting backup vocals". Suddenly, the a "light simple piano riff" starts, accompanied by a chorus.[13][15][17]

According to the sheet music, "It Will Rain" is composed in a key of D major with a tempo of 72 beats per minute. Mars' vocals range from the tonal nodes of F♯4 to E6.[18] Lyrically, the record shows the agony and torment of a heartbreak.[16][19] It describes the universal emotional pain of relationship bonds like morphine ("If you ever leave me, baby / leave some morphine at my door"),[17] romantic attachment and behavioral addiction.[20] It shows the results of being ripped apart that leads to depression.[19] Several publications noticed the over-dramatization of the lyrics.[12][17][20]

Simon Vozick-Levinson of the Rolling Stone and Tris McCall from Nj.com shared the same view as "It Will Rain" would be the singer's next radio hit.[12][15] Mars' vocals have been highly praised, with Billboard writing "pitch-perfect vocals" while PopDust felt that "it shouldn't be surprising that he sings this well."[13][20] Upon the single release, Mars started regretting the key he wrote the song in.[21] In 2012, on the Billboard Cover Story, the artist revealed his displeasure and annoyance with the final mix of his vocals on the song, and whenever the song was playing he had to "turn off the radio" since he "felt like a mosquito singing."[22]

Reception

"It Will Rain" received generally mixed reviews. Billboard gave the song a 4 out of 5 stars, denoting that the song explores "the darker insecurities first seen in..."Grenade"". Billboard compared the song's piano riff to the one's used by the artist himself, while the percussion and chord progression was reminiscent of "OneRepublic's oeuvre more than Mars' sunny hits". The review concluded with positive feedback for the singer's "pitch-perfect vocals and his knack for warbling about women troubles, the man once again delivers."[13] American singer and songwriter Adam Lambert complimented Mars' vocals and the song's melody.[21]

In a mixed review, HitFix's Melinda Newman felt the recording "has the dated feel of a song from the '80s, perhaps because of the drum track." The "few chord changes" reminded her of "Wild Horses" by The Rolling Stones. Newman also said that "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins would be a more suitable choice for the soundtrack than "It Will Rain".[14] Similarly, Simon Vozick-Levinson of Rolling Stone also drew a comparison to "Wild Horses" by The Rolling Stones, feeling an "overheated romantic dialogue" and "similarly melodramatic" as in "Grenade", adding that the "real point is the song's desperately yearning melody." Vozick-Levinson ranked the single three out of five stars.[12] PopDust compared the recording to "Grenade", "yet somehow...more dramatic". However, the song was "nothing if not competent" and Mars' vocals were praised. It was Mars' fourth-best single by that time if released "with no tie-in". The reviewer assured that the singer has done better in "dramatic and romantic" and by comparison it was "a gentle drizzle that comes and goes with little impression."[20]

On the other hand, Tris McCall from NJ.com criticized the track for its "radio-friendliness", which is evident "from the digital echo on his voice to the sudden beat drop at the beginning of the second verse". Nevertheless, McCall admitted that "It Will Rain" was "another monster hit", and it had "genuine grit and emotional heft", notwithstanding, hard to find since it was "bathe[d]... in strings and marinate[d]... in backing vocals".[15] Dallas Observer's Shahryar Rivzi gave a harsh critique of the recording saying that it was an "accessible way to present unrealistic ideas about romance". The track first piano chords are suitable for "teen drama shows". Its lyrics "present Bruno as either a vampire or a werewolf" and the "iffy drug reference" ("If you ever leave me, baby / leave some morphine at my door.") is a "relatively "safe" reference to drugs" and Mars "meant to ease the pain of losing the subject instead of making the user "realize"." Rivzi continued its criticism to the lyrics, "I'll pick up these broken pieces till I'm bleeding", resembles the "masochism" in "Grenade".[17]

At the 2013 ASCAP Pop Music Awards it was one of the winners of Most Performed Songs.[23] "It Will Rain" was nominated for Choice Music: Single by a Male Artist at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards.[24]

Music video

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Phil Pinto and Bruno Mars.[49] It was set to premiere on the night of October 26, 2011 exclusively on MTV, followed by a "special live-stream event" on MTV.com.[50][51] However, two days before its suppose release, Mars announced, via Twitter, the music video had been delayed for some weeks, "Hey guys, I'm still working on the 'It Will Rain' video. The MTV premiere will happen in a couple weeks."[51][52] It premiered on November 9, 2011 exclusively on MTV.[53][54] Filming for the video took place in London, England, United Kingdom[54] and features Mozambican and Portuguese model Vanessa Martins.[55]

In the video Mars reminisces about the moments spent between him and his "brunette vixen" girlfriend in an "sparsely" decorated apartment.[56][57] Throughout the video, the singer expresses his emptiness and devastation recurring to solo shots in which he stands "around looking sullen" and by using "faded lighting" in order to convey such sentiments.[4][58] Flashes of the two of them kissing, snuggling and pouring out romance are shown, as the singer apparently misses their relationship.[57][56][58] After the opening sequence, Mars holds a private screening of "Breaking Dawn" to please her, the couple kiss in front of a cinema projector lights, while romantic scenes from the Breaking Dawn: Part 1, including the honeymoon and the one where Edward, played by Robert Pattinson, sweeps Bella, portrayed by Kristen Stewart, "off her feet and into their new home", are projected on the wall.[4][57][58] As the video continues, the couple begins to fight, leading to more "heated arguments and lonely nights".[56][58] At this point, Mars, possibly, writes a song to persuade her to stay with him.[58] Nevertheless, MTV's, Jocelyn Vena stated "we see that the song Bruno wrote while his lady was asleep turned out to be romantic enough to win her back."[58] In the final shot the singer is alone as rain pours down and hits the window behind him.[58]

Reception

Upon its release, the video received mixed response from critics. Spin's William Goodman felt the clip was "as dramatic as the blockbuster vampire films themselves."[57] However, he condemn it for only having the drama and a couple of scenes from the Twilight movie in common. Goodman described the music video as a "soap opera tale of a young couple struggling through a breakup, and revisiting all their good times in the process."[57] David Greenwald of Billboard criticized the video for looking "more like a denim brand's lookbook than a peek at the vampire franchise's fourth film."[4] At the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards Japan, the video was nominated in the categories of Best Male Video and Best Video from a Film, winning the former.[59]

Live performances and covers

During the European leg, it was sung live with Skylar Grey.[66] Mars performance with Grey drew the attention of some reviewers. Becky Bain of Idolator noted that the two "have melancholia perfected".[67] PopDust felt that "Grey's contribution is soft and minimal; it's all about Bruno and his rain-slick voice." the website concluded, "it's a shame that here, she feels so invisible".[68] On his second world tour, The Moonshine Jungle Tour (2013–14), interpolated with "If I Knew", a song included on his second studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), in most concerts.[69] The single was part of some shows during the 24K Magic World Tour (2017–18) interpolated with "Nothin' On You" (2010).[70]
