"Like the Rain" is the title of a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Clint Black. It was recorded as one of several new tracks for his 1996 "Greatest Hits" package. Released in 1996, the song became his twenty-third chart single, and in October of that year, it became his tenth Number One hit on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. It held that position for three weeks, and was one of seven songs that year to hold the #1 position that long. At the 1997 Grammy Awards, "Like the Rain" was nominated for the Best Male Country Vocal performance.

Content

"Like the Rain" is a country ballad, backed mainly by acoustic guitar and piano, with heavy snare drum accents. The narrator tells of how he "never liked the rain" until he walked through it with his lover. In the chorus, he adds that he "can't believe [he] never liked the rain", and then elaborates that he is "falling for [her] now, just like the rain". The album version features the sounds of rain and thunder at the beginning and end; these sound effects were removed from the radio edit.

Black also re-recorded the song, at a slightly slower tempo, for his 2007 compilation "The Love Songs".
