Rain On Me

“Rain On Me” is about persevering through your troubles and finding solace and comfort in the fact that things will get better. It is the second single off Chromatica, Gaga’s sixth studio album, and marks the first collaboration between Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. The collaboration was first confirmed through her Twitter account on April 22, along with the other tracks and collaborations from the album. On May 15, she revealed the song’s official cover and release date. Gaga also expressed the meaning of the song via Vulture: "This is about an analog of tears being the rain. And you know what it’s also a metaphor for, is the amount of drinking that I was doing to numb myself. I’d rather be dry."
