Remember how Bruno Mars was supposed to have debuted his new Breaking Dawn soundtrack video on MTV awhile back and it got postponed last second. Well, now it is back. From MTV:

MTV is set to exclusively premiere Grammy-award winning singer, songwriter, producer and multi-platinum selling artist Bruno Mars’ new music video “It Will Rain,” the first single from THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 soundtrack that features a never-before-seen clip from the film, on Wednesday, November 9^th at 7:56pm ET.

Immediately following at 8:00pm ET, “It Will Rain” will premiere on MTV.com, MTV Hits and mtvU, and go into rotation the following morning during AMTV.

Co-written and produced with the Smeezingtons (Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine), “It Will Rain” is currently available for sale exclusively via iTunes. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 soundtrack will be released on November 8, 2011.

Bruno Mars is a multitalented singer, songwriter, producer and musician. After co-producing and performing on two of last summer’s biggest hits (B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You” and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire”,) Mars’ first solo single “Just the Way You Are,” hit number 1 in multiple countries across the world and won the critically-acclaimed artist a Grammy Award for “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.” Bruno’s 2x Platinum-certified debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans went on to claim two additional hit singles “Grenade” and “The Lazy Song.” Mars has now sold over 15 million singles worldwide and is touring internationally.
