The song, which had been written by Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe, had received a Grammy nod for best song written for a soundtrack.

But it was unexpectedly announced on December 10 that the tune has been pulled because it was not specifically penned for the movie, thereby making it ineligible for the award.

The Grammy site does reflect the change, but a spokesperson for O"s label confirmed the news to MTV.
