Rain on Me by Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, et al (optional dance-along) – Charles Manning, Piano - Video

“Rain on Me” was written by Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Nija Charles, Rami Yacoub, Tchami, and Boys Noize, with producers BloodPop and Matthew Burns. The song is from Gaga’s 2020 album, “Chromatica.” “Rain on Me” is described as a “celebration of tears.” Released during the 2020 pandemic lockdown, the song brings an uplifting message of weathering the storm in defiance of the hardships in life. Influenced by house, dance-pop, and disco, with elements of electropop, French house, and Eurodance, “Rain on Me” debuted at No. 1 on the 2020 US Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped the charts in 13 other countries as well.

The song marked the first female collaboration to debut at the top of the Hot 100 chart, with Grande becoming the first artist to have four songs debut at the top spot. Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez directed the award-winning music video, featuring Gaga and Grande dancing inside an arena during a rainstorm. Using distinctly separated chords for each word “Rain…On…Me,” pianist Charles Manning improvises the hit song “Rain on Me.”
