"Rain" is a song by American singer Madonna from her fifth studio album, Erotica (1992), released by Maverick, Sire and Warner. Written and produced by Madonna and Shep Pettibone, in Australia and most European countries, the song was released as the album's fifth single on July 17, 1993; in the United States, a release was issued on August 5. A pop ballad that mixes elements of R&B, trip-hop, and new-age music, its lyrics liken water and rainfall to the power of love.
Madonna became interested in working with Mark Romanek (picture) after seeing his work in En Vogue's "Free Your Mind", and Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way".
