Live performances

On July 16, 2012, the band performed "It's Time" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[3][4] They also performed the song live on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 4, 2012 and on Conan on January 9, 2013. They also performed the song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on October 29, 2012, notable for being broadcast during Hurricane Sandy. As a result, they performed the song to an empty audience, with only the cast and crew of Late Night being present. The band also performed and singer Dan Reynolds was interviewed on Norwegian and Swedish television show Skavlan on February 1, 2013.[5]

Music video

The music video debuted on April 17, 2012, on all MTV affiliates and the band was named MTV PUSH Artist of the Week and later featured on PUSH Live.[6][7] A first teaser released March 28, 2012. The video also reached #1 on Yahoo Music's Top Videos.[8]
The video starts with the band walking through a barren wasteland beneath a dark and ominous looking sky. The sky begins to grow more turbulent as the band walks past flags and airplane or boat wreckage and dead trees. Bassist Ben McKee opens a box he has been carrying and a pale light glows from within. The band removes a pebble-sized glowing orb from the box. The band members dig a hole for it with their hands, and then drop the orb into the ground. The lead singer Dan Reynolds then shouts, and in the next scene the band members are shown running away from their dig site. A large explosion throws Reynolds into the air where he seems to levitate (à la Continued Silence album cover). Finally, the sky begins to part and the sunlight shines through—reminiscent of heavenly inspiration.
