"Like the Rain" is a country music hit co-written and recorded by Clint Black. Released in September 1996 as the lead single for his Greatest Hits album.

The atmospheric track became his tenth Number One hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

The track reached the top of the Billboard country charts in October 1996 and impressively stayed there for three weeks.

At the 1997 Grammy Awards, "Like the Rain" earned a nomination for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.Songwriting:

Black co-wrote the song with his long-time collaborator, Hayden Nicholas.

The song is a romantic, atmospheric track that compares the feeling of falling deeply in love to the way rain falls—turning something traditionally gloomy into something beautifully nourishing.

The song features a dreamy quality that deviated slightly from Black's more traditional hard-country work, notably incorporating the actual sound of falling rain into the opening of the record.

WHEN I FINISHED RECORDING THIS SONG, I HEARD THUNDER AND IT STARTED RAINING…..LOL
