Quick Facts Single by Status Quo, from the album Blue for You ...

"Rain" was intended for Blue for You's predecessor On the Level – but, at the time of the recording sessions, Parfitt had not completed the song and so it was held over. It followed guitarist Francis Rossi's introduction to speed; "That's why songs like 'Rain' were so edgy and fast," he explained.[3]

The song was reprised in 2014 for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance for the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.[4][5]
