Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah, Rihanna
Uh huh, uh huh
Good girl gone bad
Uh huh, uh huh
Take three, action
Uh huh, uh huh, ho
No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane into fame
Comin' down at the Dow Jones
When the clouds come, we gone
We Roc-a-fella
We fly higher than weather
In G5's or better
You know me
In anticipation for precipitation stack chips for the rainy day
Rain man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna, where you at?

You have my heart, and we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines, but you'll still be my star
Baby, 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

These fancy things will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the world has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because

When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
(Come into me)
(There's no distance in between our love)
So I'm gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because

When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

It's raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
Baby, come into me
Come into me
It's raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
You can always come into me
Come into me
It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain
Come into me
Come into me




It's pouring rain

Overall Meaning

"Umbrella" is a song by Barbadian singer Rihanna, featuring American rapper Jay-Z and singer Chris Brown. The song is about being there for each other in both good and bad times. The opening lines "No clouds in my stones, let it rain, I hydroplane into fame" set the tone for the song, indicating that nothing can stop Rihanna's rise to fame despite the obstacles or challenges she may encounter. The song is a metaphor for support and a message of hope for those going through difficult times.


Verse two further emphasizes this message by stating that material possessions will not come in between the bond the singer has with her love interest. The chorus, sung by Rihanna and reiterated by Chris Brown, is an invitation to stand together under Rihanna's umbrella, a symbol of support and protection.


The song is characterized by its catchy melody and upbeat tempo, making it a pop and R&B hit. It was written by Terius Nash, also known as The-Dream, Kuk Harrell, and Tricky Stewart, and produced by the latter two. The song was first offered to Britney Spears, but she turned it down. After Rihanna recorded the song, her label wanted to release it as a collaboration with Jay-Z, who added his verse. Chris Brown later recorded a remix of the song, adding his own verse.
