Let It Rain
S&B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Katy B]
Yeah, Black clouds are looking darker
We bring the night to life
I hope you got your lighter
Spark the match and light
Somehow we all survived
Although they dimmed the lights
They try to knock my future down
The trees they tried to hide
They say I'm an optimist
Now look I topped the list
Approved but not to this
From negative to positive
Yeah, don't fight the planes
No parachutes, we let it rain
From the inn I brought my troops

[Melanie Fiona]
Forecast to be grey again
Feels as if it never ends
Hide behind the door
Anymore
Let it rain
Let it rain
(you see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way
Cant stop forming
May as well embrace
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
(you see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way

[Katy B]
Said id walk the last for long
Said I had one hit and wondered back my parted songs
Asking whats the label on
Had this came along
Why the hell designer writes
Told my ANR he's okay but now the game is wrong
Now picture this
Now I've got his day miss
I've planned it all
To rule the black the mist
And now it's hours
Lite and waiting for hours
Full of basement to the rooftops
We just played the hours

[Melanie Fiona]
Forecast to be grey again
Feels as if it never ends
Hide behind the door
Anymore
Let it rain
Let it rain
(you see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way
Cant stop forming
May as well embrace
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
(you see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way

[Melanie]
I'm stepping out tonight
There's a life would moan
(I hear it calling)
I'm afraid no more
(can't stop me falling)
Behind the grey there's light
(black clouds)
I'mma reach it by
(standing across)
At the end and I know
I'm gonna to be alright

[Katy B]
You can keep it moving on
No time on dwelling on
They hum we sing along

[Melanie Fiona]
We're gonna be alright

[Katy B]
I know you see
In fact they all believe
Them cloud above me
I let it rain

[Melanie Fiona]
Let it rain
(You see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way
Cant stop forming
May as well embrace
Let it rain
You see the




Drip drop coming
Everybody give way

Overall Meaning

In S&B's song, "Let it Rain", the lyrics speak of a troubled relationship in which the female partner is clearly upset, but unable to express her emotions. The singer is encouraging her to talk to him about what is on her mind, rather than bottling up her feelings and pretending everything is okay. He indicates that if everything was really okay, she wouldn't be crying, yet it appears that he genuinely cares and wants to help her.


The song describes a few different situations that highlight the woman's distress. She has been tossing and turning in her sleep, crying all day long, and is seemingly distant when they go to bed at night. The man is frustrated that he cannot understand what is causing her pain, and encourages her to speak up so that they can work through the issue together instead of remaining disconnected.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Let's straighten it out" as a plea to the woman to open up and communicate what is troubling her. Overall, the song seems to be conveying an important message about the importance of honesty and communication in relationships, and how frequent communication can prevent deeper problems from arising.

Please let's work things out between us.


Let's straighten it out now, baby
Let's work on this issue and fix things now.
