It's Raining (Rain song)


"It's Raining" is a Korean language song, and the first single from the third album, by Korean R&B singer, Rain.
"It's Raining" first hit airwaves in September 2004, and was met with a positive response. The single went straight to the number one position in South Korea. The single and its album launched Rain as an international artist throughout Asia in 2005. Both reached number one in several places, including Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, China, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.
With this single, Rain presented a brand-new image to his fans, and explored a more upbeat, hip-hop influenced sound. In an attempt to attract a larger international audience, he changed his name from Bi to its English form, Rain. This was also Rain's first single with an English name, rather than a Korean one.
The single eventually made its way to the MTV studios in 2006. Its video was played periodically on MTV to promote Rain’s first ever US concert, Rainy Day, in Madison Square Garden.

In the music video for "It's Raining", Rain is delivered to a night club for a live performance by his entourage, bringing some life to the previously dull atmosphere. Towards the end of the song, rain starts to pour from the ceiling. Parts of the video appear to have been shot in front of fans. On the music video, instead of the woman saying "Rain, Go Rain!, It's Raining, It's Raining", you would hear Rain saying the side verse.
