The four original 10-inch (25 cm) dolls were released on May 21, 2001 — Yasmin, Cloe, Jade, and Sasha. They featured almond-shaped eyes adorned with eye shadow and lush and big glossy lips. Bratz reached great success with the expansion to spin-offs including Bratz Kidz, Bratz Boyz, Bratz Babyz and Bratzillaz and a media franchise consisting of discography and adaptations into a TV series, a web series, a live-action film and video games. Global sales of the entire franchise grossed $2 billion in 2005 and by the following year, the brand had about 40 percent of the fashion-doll market.
The Bratz doll lines have provoked controversy in several areas from their stylized proportions to fashion-forward clothing, capitalizing closely on pop culture trends. Since the brand's launch in 2001, franchise distributor MGA Entertainment got embroiled in a lengthy legal dispute with Mattel over the rights to its design, which ended in 2011 with MGA as the victors. Related litigation is ongoing in a lawsuit by MGA alleging Mattel's theft of trade secrets.
MGA has paused the Bratz brand since the onset of the litigation and rebranded it several throughout its lifespan, with the first of those coming in 2010 after Mattel's first lawsuit, only to return later that year to commemorate the brand's 10th anniversary. In 2013, Bratz changed to have a taller bodies, an all-new logo and branding, and continued through 2014, in an effort to return the brand to its roots. As a result, none of the 2014 product line was made available in North Americas.
In July 2015, Bratz relaunched a second time with new doll lines and introducing a new main character, Raya to the debut lineup from its 2001 launch as well as a new slogan and website design. The bodies were changed to be 10" (25 cm) tall again, but with new bodies and head molds. These dolls were met with negative reactions from fans, as the brand was more oriented towards younger kids rather than tweens and teens like the previous dolls. Due to the poor reception and sales, the dolls were once again discontinued in 2016.
In September 2018, a new line of dolls called "Bratz Collector" were designed by fashion illustrator Hayden Williams and released exclusively on Amazon. The brand featured closely resemblance to the original 2001 doll line. In June 2021, for their 20th anniversary, Bratz released near-replicas of the debut dolls from its 2001 launch.
Rainy Day
Bratz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember that you're gone
I wondered where the sun went
The rain is falling now
And I'm awake on this
Rainy day and I'm
Watching as my tears fall down the window pane
Didn't I baby
Treat you right?
And I watch the rain it makes us pure again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I tried to come and see you
But you wont let me in
I know we've had our moments
But can we start again?
Cuz I'm awake on this
Rainy day and I'm
Watching as my tears fall down the window pane
Yeah yeah
Didn't I baby
Treat you right?
And I watch the rain it makes us pure again
Yeah yeah yeah
And tell me how I'm gonna live without you
Feel like my world is falling apart
I watch the rain
Falling again
Wash away
Wash away
I'm awake on this
Rainy day and I'm
Watching as my tears fall down the window pane
Yeah yeah
Didn't I baby
Treat you right?
And I watch the rain it makes us pure again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh
Oh

I wake up in the morning
I start my day with memories of you
Remember that you're gone
I realize that you're no longer with me
I wondered where the sun went
I feel like my happiness has disappeared
The rain is falling now
It's a sad and gloomy day
And I'm awake on this
I'm conscious and fully aware of my emotions
Rainy day and I'm
It's a day that matches my mood

I'm observing the rain through my tears
Yeah Yeah
I agree with what I just said
Didn't I baby
Didn't I love you enough?
Treat you right?
Did I do everything I should have done?

I tried to come and see you
I made an effort to see you
But you wont let me in
You refuse to let me back into your life
I know we've had our moments
We've had good and bad times together
But can we start again?
Is it possible for us to give our relationship another chance?

My life feels like it's crumbling around me
Wash away
I hope the rain will wash away my pain
