Make It Rain
The Auditions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go run and tell everyone
There's a storm that's coming for her
This type of rain will make her fall in love
This girl's so condescending
Mysterious, but beautiful
So go run and tell all the neighbors
[Chorus]
I've never wanted you so much
As I do right now
I can't believe this is happening to me
Hey, make it rain
Flood the streets if only for today
Hey, make it rain
I need you, I want you, oh
I just can't help it, baby
All we got's tonight
Hey, make it rain, yeah
Her favorite place to dance is outside
Especially when the stars are bright
So that's exactly where I'm headed
She's beautiful under night skies
I've been waiting for this weather
Come rain, come shine
She's mine
Go run and tell all the neighbors
Go run and tell everyone
The storm is coming
Better come inside
[Chorus]
My eyes will be locked on you
I'm moving for the kill
So sit still
I want your eyes locked on me
You will be loving me till the morning
Hey, make it rain
Flood the streets if only for today
Hey, make it rain
I need you, I want you, oh
I just can't help it, baby
All we got's tonight
Hey, make it rain
The Audition's song Make It Rain is a love song about a man who is determined to win the heart of a beautiful and mysterious girl. He's so infatuated with her that he asks for a storm to come so he can take her inside and make her fall in love with him. The lyrics "There's a storm that's coming for her, this type of rain will make her fall in love" to suggest that he sees his opportunity to sweep her off her feet.
He acknowledges that she's not easy to win over, describing her as "condescending" but still "beautiful." He seems to have waited for the perfect moment to make his move, and he knows exactly what she likes; he heads to her favorite spot to dance outside when the stars are bright. The song makes use of a metaphor, comparing his love for her to a storm or a rain that will sweep her away.
The chorus is the most powerful part of the song, insisting on the need for the storm. He says "Hey, make it rain, flood the streets if only for today," suggesting that the rain represents the powerful force of his love. He is overcome with emotion and can no longer contain his feelings. The song's bridge, "My eyes will be locked on you, I'm moving for the kill, so sit still," shows just how determined he is to win over his love.
