Although the main genre for these songs is Eurodance, it does have a considerable amount of Italian influence. This is especially prevalent in Dark Night Rider and It's a Rainy Day. But Think about the Way and It's a Rainy Day were so successful that many Eurodance fans still listen to them. In 1994, due to some legal issues, Ice MC separated from Roberto Zanetti and Alexia. In 1996, Ice MC struck back with a new album called The Dredatour. The hit song of the album was the pure Eurodance song Give me the Light, but the album itself wasn't particularly successful. After this, many thought that Campbell had caused irreparable damage to his career.
At the end of 2002 he decided to return to Italy and to contact Robyx (Roberto Zanetti) again. Together, they decided to realize a new project. Ice and Robyx started by writing some new material and, at the beginning of 2004, they withdrew into the studio to record a new album.

The lyrics to Ice MC's "It's a Rainy Day" explore the idea of facing difficult moments in life with a positive attitude. The song starts with a reflection on a time before the rain came down, when life was full of vitality. However, the singer encourages the listener to bring that positive energy back and not let the rainy day bring them down. The lyrics then introduce a character named Billy, who was a youth on his way to school and enjoyed time with his friends until one day he lost sight of one of them, who died due to gang violence. The song reminds us that we never know when challenging times will come, but we must face them with courage and keep a positive outlook.

Вернуть бы тот день назад, да да да, именно тот день июль 1995 года, дискач в клетке за РДК, мне уже 42, от воспоминаний наворачиваются слёзы.... под это хит все мы тогда кайфовали!

Жизнь была легче интереснее, казалось вся жизнь впереди, все лучшее впереди.... оказывается нет
@user-bv2cb3pe5l
И мне уже 42, детство и юность всегда офигенны. В нас тогда было много любви и энергии, поэтому всё по другому ощущалось, а сейчас одни заботы, и переживания☝️😊😊😊
