Yesterday a radio station leaked the news that Bruno Mars was on the Breaking Dawn soundtrack and today it was confirmed by the official Twilight Twitter account.
“‘It Will Rain’ by @brunomars is the first song unveiled from the @BreakingDawnStk! http://bit.ly/r0UPB5 #ITWILLRAIN #BD1Stk”
Check out the Bruno Mars website. Where they state :
We’re happy to announce exclusively on BrunoMars.com that Bruno’s new song “It Will Rain” will be featured on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
“It Will Rain” will be available worldwide* exclusively on iTunes this Tuesday, September 27th.
*UK single will be available October 31st.
The soundtrack album will be available everywhere November 8th.
Come back to BrunoMars.com this Tuesday (9/27) to hear ‘It Will Rain’!”
I actually like this ! If we were to have a well know artist I would want it to be him.
Meh, will have to listen to it first since the only single from the soundtrack that I’ve actually liked has been Decode from the first one.
Not really happy about this. I am not sure how this style of music will fit in to the Twilight mix. It depends on the context it is used in the film. I love Bruno Mars, but he isn’t the edgy, funky, indy music I associate with Twilight. We’ll have to see how it sounds and how it is placed in the movie.
I feel exactly the same way . . . BM just doesn’t fit
So far, I like what there is to hear. I asked my daughter to take listen and she thinks it would sound good during a part involving the Volturi.
: ) Love him! ♥
It all depends on the song itself and how it’s used in the film. I love some of Bruno’s stuff, and some if it, not so much. But, we all know placement within the film can completely ruin a song. To this day, I honestly cannot listen to what was originally my favorite track off of the Eclipse soundtrack because where they placed it in the film was just wrong, and I can’t listen to the song without thinking about how it was completely wrong for that part of the movie and how it sent completely the wrong message. So, we wait and we see.
Are you talking about Beck’s song or Muse one? Or different one at all.

I never remember which nickname I’m using here on comments ‘wholi’ or ‘Lisa’ ’cause I’m sure I used both of them….
eww, it would be bad
YES!!!
Ok, for the people that apparently think he sucks… how about listening to more than one song … -_-’ His album is sooooo good!! ♥♥ And hey, I’m pretty picky!! ;P LOL
Just give me my Muse and I’ll be happy
well here is a very small clip of It Will Rain. it sounds very twilighty to me and i think it will fit in with The Saga music that has already been established… http://www.frequency.com/video/bruno-mars-will-rain-twilight-breaking/17071705
Wow! That’s surprising. I don’t disagree. Just don’t have him singing the wedding song and I’ll be fine.
Oh that will be interesting. Hhmm. Will be trying to listen to that one on the 27th. I’m sure it will be flooded on iTunes. They will find out our Twi Power!
It’s such a departure from previous artists…nothing personal against Bruno Mars, but have been very pleased with the alt/rock vibe of the previous soundtracks.
That is amazing! I love Bruno. bruno can be very rock-ish and we had Ce-Lo Green on the last one. So I think this will be amazing. Hope it’s a ballad for a very emotional part!
Love Bruno Mars. He is a very welcome addition to the Twilight family. Don’t know why people are dogging him, he’s an awesome singer.
Awesome, BUT… why associate the Twilight Saga with someone that has been busted for cocaine? There can’t be a R Rated version of the movies but we can have someone with a drug addiction?
NO! This is horrible! There goes the soundtrack. Protest.
For all of those that are dodging him for being pop, listen to the preview for “It Will Rain” already. You might like it! So shut your yaps with the “But I want Paramore!!!!1:(((((” complaints and listen.
Didn’t mean to put the entire video. Sorry.
…….. Can’t say anything until the soundtrack comes out.
you’ve got to be kidding me. Bruno Mars? What happened to edgy and alternative and… ugh. Bruno Mars does NOT fit with twilight.
I really like Bruno, but I like pop as well as alt rock. I think it could work, like people have said, in the right place. That teaser is nice but so brief that it doesn’t really give us much to work from. I’ll be eager to hear the whole thing. Really nice for the powers-that-be to give us all to keep tantalizing ourselves with ….
I think it’s the just the principle of Bruno Mars being on the soundtrack that is so wrong. I mean is he pretending to be some Indie/Alternative singer suddenly? I really am not a fan of his music (i think his stuff is gross) and the whole soundtrack just looses credit immediately. Who wants to be on the same soundtrack as bruno bloody mars?
For me, its not that I hate Bruno Mars- I think his music is great and he is extremely talented. He just doesn’t fit with what I associate with Twilight music. So for me, when I first heard about his inclusion on the soundtrack, it made me immediately leery of where they are going with this one. But I will wait til Tuesday to see for sure.
I like him I really do but… twilight….I just dont know
Omg Ppl really? It’s a sound track. You won’t die. Lot of songs on the sound tracks I would never listen to otherwise but liked in the movie. Bruno Mars is different and so is breaking dawn. Also so what if he was busted for cocaine. Some of the stars of the twilight franchise have been in trouble or addicts. It’s life. That being said he wouldn’t be my first choice.
Fail. Chris Brown would have been a better choice.
