She often stated that Columbia had regarded her as a commodity, with her separation from Tommy Mottola exacerbating her relations with label executives. However, in July 2001, Carey had suffered a physical and emotional breakdown. Due to this situation, Virgin and 20th Century Fox delayed the release of Carey 's film Glitter, as well as its soundtrack of the same name. Both the releases received negative feedback and were commercially unsuccessful. This also resulted in her deal with Virgin being bought out for $50 million. Soon after, Carey flew to Capri, Italy for a period of five months, in which she began writing material for her new album, stemming from all the personal experiences she had endured throughout the past year. Carey later said that her time at Virgin was `` a complete and total stress-fest (... ) I made a total snap decision which was based on money and I never make decisions based on money. I learned a big lesson from that. '' Later that year, she signed a contract with Island Records, valued at more than $24 million, and launched the record label MonarC. To add further to Carey 's emotional burdens, her father, with whom she had little contact since childhood, died of cancer that year. Release Throughout the first years of her career, Carey 's musical styles mainly involved pop influenced R&B. Additionally, her image was of a reserved and modestly dressed female, or as Carey 's later described it `` the 90s version of Mary Poppins ''. As the 1990s wore on, Carey began featuring rappers on remixes, and began infusing hip - hop into her musical palette. As her music changed, so too did her image, which became more sexual, and aimed at younger audiences than the more contemporary appeal of her earlier works. According to Michael Paoletta from Billboard, `` Through the Rain '' was used not only as a vehicle for listeners to become more in - tune with Carey 's personal struggles, but also as a means to `` re-capture '' her audience throughout the earlier stages of her career. A contemporary and pop ballad, he felt the song would find `` much embrace '' from her older fans, while her audience that grew accustomed to her hip - hop flavored music would feel `` lost and abandoned ''. In an interview with MTV News, the song 's co-producer Jimmy Jam described why Carey chose to release it as the lead single : `` I think ' Through the Rain ' is a great way to start the record, because it is emotional and it kind of speaks directly to the questions people might have about the last year of her life. It 's a good idea to get that out of the way and move on to happy, less emotional songs. '' Remix The song 's official remix features guest vocals from Kelly Price and Joe. The remix incorporates a more up - tempo background, and differs melodically from the original. While the album 's co-producer, Jimmy Jam, described it as a `` star search, '' Sarah Rodman from the Boston Herald felt that even though the remix was more up - beat than the original, it `` failed to quicken the pulse. '' Composition `` Through the Rain '' A sample of `` Through the Rain '', featuring the song 's simple and under - stated piano melody. Additionally, the song 's lyrics are aimed to inspire listeners to find their `` inner strength '', and be able to walk alone through the turbulent times going on in their life. Problems playing this file ? See media help. `` Through the Rain '' is a mid-tempo ballad, which is influenced by pop and R&B music genres. The song is built around a piano melody, and features a beat that is accentuated by synthesizers. Aside from its pop - driven melody and structure, Jeff Vrabel of the Chicago Sun - Times noted an hint of gospel towards the song 's crescendo, describing it as `` lite - gospel ''. Vocally, `` Through the Rain '' finds Carey singing in a `` restrained '' style for the duration of most of the song, as the first verse and chorus are sung in breathy vocals. After the second chorus, the bridge is linked to the song 's climax through a long belted note. The Daily Union 's David Germain felt the song 's composition, as well as Carey 's vocal performance were `` simple and reserved '', with Carey in `` complete control '' of her voice. `` Through the Rain '' was written by Carey and Lionel Cole and produced by the former and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Ltd., `` Through the Rain '' is set in common time with a tempo of 64 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of A-flat major but with the transposing key to B - major, with Carey 's vocal range spanning from the low - note of E ♭ to the high - note of F ♯. Lyrically, the song features an inspirational message of inner strength, and finds Carey reaching out to listeners. The song uses a rainstorm as a metaphor for troubles in life, while encouraging others to `` make it through the rain '' through perseverance. The first chorus begins : `` When you get caught in the rain / With no where to run / When your distraught and in pain without anyone / When you keep crying out to be saved '', illustrating a moment in an individual 's life where they are surrounded by conflict. The chorus then serves as a guide to those still suffering, `` I can make it through the rain, I can stand up once again on my own / And I know that I 'm strong enough to mend / And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith / And I live one more day and I make it through the rain ''. Similarly, the second verse once again revisits difficult times when `` shadows grow close '', before continuing into the second chorus and climax. While the song in meant for listeners to gain confidence and strength, it also allows them into Carey 's personal struggles she endured throughout 2001. Lola Ogunnaike of The New York Times described the song as a `` triumph over adversity '', while a writer from the Sydney Morning Herald wrote `` it 's an insight into her recent troubles. '' In an interview with MTV News, Carey described the song 's lyrical content in depth : I 've always tried to insert positivity into my songs wherever I can, to inspire other people who go through stuff. I mean the stuff they talked about in tabloids and the things that were so overly exaggerated, that 's one aspect. I also went through a lot of personal stuff, a lot of family stuff this year. Losing a parent is an intense thing for anybody. It 's brought me to another place. People are going to read into it as, ' This is Mariah and her struggle '. But the way I try to word it is, ' It 's OK once you say I can make it through the rain. ' Not just me going, ' I can make it through the rain, ' it 's me telling people that if you believe you can get through whatever you 're going through, you can get to the other side. Critical reception `` Through the Rain '' received positive reviews from music critics ; many complimented Carey 's restrained vocal performance, as well as the song 's simple instrumental accompaniment, while others criticized it for being overly - dramatic. Jon Pareles of The New York Times described it as `` inspirational '', and felt that due to its vagueness, the song is would be applicable to all listeners, not just Carey. The Daily Union 's David Germain commented how the song 's simple musical arrangement and Carey 's `` restrained '' vocal delivery aided it in becoming `` modest and reserved ''. Writing for Billboard, Michael Paoletta chose `` Through the Rain '' as a top pick from the album, as did Allmusic 's Stephen Thomas Erlewine. He described it as a song that was designed as `` ' Vision of Love ' meets ' Hero ' '', and wrote, `` Mariah is back in the adult contemporary camp, no longer trying to prove that she 's real. '' Cara DiPasquale from the Chicago Tribune called it a `` powerhouse ballad '', while Entertainment Weekly 's Tom Sinclair wrote `` embellished with her trademark vocal pyrotechnics, it is one of those highly personal songs about finding your way out of an emotional wilderness, but it sinks in its own sodden sentimentality ''. Similarly, a writer from Newsday also described `` Through the Rain '' as a `` powerhouse ballad '', and felt it was reminiscent of Carey 's previous single `` One Sweet Day '' ( 1995 ). Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Randy Lewis noted how the song was able to effectively take listeners right into Carey 's personal struggles from the previous year. Tina Brown from Newsweek felt that while Carey 's personal troubles may not have been fully solved, the song made her appear `` strong and triumphant ''. Commercial performance After premiering in the United States, `` Through the Rain '' managed to peak at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100. Though accompanied by several live promotional appearances, the song failed to garner sufficient airplay to make much of an impact on radio stations. While barely managing to crack the primary US charts, it reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs and it also topped the Hot Singles Sales chart. While radio appeal was primarily weak throughout the United States, the song managed to sustain strong airplay throughout Asia. In Canada, `` Through the Rain '' peaked at number five on the singles chart, and was certified Gold by the Canadian Recording Industry Association ( CRIA ), denoting shipments of over 50,000 units.

In Australia, `` Through the Rain '' debuted at its peak position of number fifteen on the singles chart, during the week of November 14, 2002.

Music video Background Jamie - Lynn Sigler ( pictured ) plays the role of Carey 's mother in the video The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, was filmed on location in New York City on September 30, and October 1, 2002. It is loosely based on the singer 's parents, Alfred and Patricia Carey, during the times that she was conceived. The characters are played by J.D. Williams and Jamie - Lynn Sigler respectively and incorporates themes from Charmbracelet as well as from Carey 's life. In an interview with MTV News, Carey said that originally, the plot for the video was n't going to have anything to do with her parent 's past experiences with racism, but was changed a few days before shooting began. During the interview, she described how to plot came into reality : Originally it was n't going to have anything to do with that, but people were looking through my photo albums this year. My father and I had made some photo albums together of his relatives and different people in the family. A couple people saw ( the albums ) and they were like, ' This is amazing that you have this. ' I guess everybody was like, ' How would you feel about this type of concept ( for a video ) ? ' So I guess I thought if someone 's going to do it might as well be me. The story line ( of the video ) is about an interracial couple. It 's sort of Romeo and Juliet but it 's set in the ' 60s and they 're kind of torn apart. It 's about their struggle and I 'm sort of the narrator. I do n't want to give too much away about it, but it 's nice. Something I could relate to, being the product of an interracial union, though ( my parents ) did not wind up happily ever after standing in church together. Sigler, who was offered the role only days before filming commenced, said that she had always been a fan of Carey, and accepted the offer immediately. She described that the shoot was set in the 1960s, and that she played the singer 's mother during and after her pregnancy. Sigler described the plot : `` With my character, she 's basically going against her parent 's wishes to be with this gentleman. She 's pregnant with a baby, which is Mariah, and they run away together. So it 's kind of an epic love story, it 's nice. '' Carey revealed that the video would incorporate a rainstorm scene in New York City. Carey jokingly explained how she originally did not intend to get wet, but felt it added a lot to the video. Synopsis The video begins with a view of a Carey 's personal family album. As the pages open, the camera zooms to one particular photograph, of her young mother facing a wall, with her back turned. As the picture comes into full view, it turns into actual footage. Her mother turns around in anguish, as her own mother begins shouting at her and calling her a disgrace to the family. This is due to the fact that she is pregnant with the child of a black man, with whom she wants to move out with. As she goes to leave the home, her mother grabs her arm and rips off a `` charmbracelet '' from her wrist. As she picks it up off the floor, she tells her mother she hates her and leaves in a taxi. From the clothing and scenery, it is notable that the scenes depicted are happening in the late 1960s, prior to Carey 's birth. As the song starts playing, the video focuses on Carey, walking down the street in New York City. As she continues singing and walking down the street, the camera aims to the sky, which is darkened with cloud while light starts to peer through. While rain starts to fall, and people start to clear the streets, Carey remains walking on the pathway. The girl now reaches her destination, and is welcomed into the home of her lover. They soon board a bus, and travel to a new home where they will live together. As they are about to enter the bus, the girl 's mother is seen screaming in tears for her daughter to return to her. She hesitates, and then continues with her lover onto the transport. The scene once again focuses on Carey, who is standing in the midst of a torrential downpour, singing to the heavens. As she reaches the song 's climax, Carey, now dry and dressed in a long black gown, is shown singing at the altar of a church. As she sings at the church, scenes of the girl lighting a candle, and her lover laying together with her on a bed are shown, before focusing back on Carey. She stares at an elderly couple in the first row at the church, an inter-racial couple now revealed to be her parents, and smiles while wearing her mother 's charmbracelet. The elderly woman begins crying, as her husband holds her hand as they intently stare at Carey. Their faces rejuvenate to show them as a young couple, as their photo is taken and placed into the family album from the beginning of the video. Live performances Following the release of `` Through the Rain '', Carey embarked on several stateside, European and Asian promotional tours in support of Charmbracelet, as well as its accompanying singles. Promotion for the former song began at the 2002 NRJ Awards, where Carey appeared on stage sporting a long wavy style and wearing a long black skirt and denim blazer. Three days prior to the album 's stateside release, a one - hour special titled Mariah Carey : Shining Through the Rain aired on MTV, in which Carey was interviewed and sang several songs from Charmbracelet and of her catalog. During the interview, Carey addressed rumors of her breakdown and its cause, as well as of the album and its inspiration, followed by a question and answer with fans. During the album 's month of release, Carey appeared on several television talk shows, launching her promotional tour on Today, where she performed a four - song set - list at Mall of America for a crowd of over 10,000. On December 3, 2002, Carey appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, where she performed `` Through the Rain '' and `` My Saving Grace '', and covered a highly publicized interview regarding Carey 's hospitalization. On December 4, Carey traveled to Brazil for South American promotion of Charmbracelet, appearing on the popular Brazilian program, Fantástico. She sang `` My All '', and reprised performances of `` Through the Rain '' and `` I Only Wanted '' wearing a long pink gown. On December 7, 2002, Carey performed `` Through The Rain '' in front of a crowd of 50,000 people, at the closing concert of the Mexican Teletón, which took place in the country 's Azteca Stadium. One month later, Carey was featured as one of the headlining performers at the 30th annual American Music Awards, held on January 13, 2003. Introduced by Sharon Osbourne, Carey performed `` Through the Rain '' alongside a complete live gospel choir, and wore a long black evening gown. During the recital, images of newspaper headlines describing Carey 's breakdown were projected on a large curtain behind her, with one reading `` When you fall down, you get back up. '' Following the song 's completion, Carey received a standing ovation. Towards the end of March, Charmbracelet saw release throughout Europe, prompting Carey to appear on several programs in promotion of the album. She first performed the album 's leading two singles on the British music chart show, Top of the Pops, followed by a similar set on The Graham Norton Show and Fame Academy. On the latter program, Carey was joined on stage by the show 's finalists, as they all sang the climax on `` Through the Rain '' alongside her. `` Through the Rain '' was only performed on Carey 's Charmbracelet World Tour : An Intimate Evening with Mariah Carey, which spanned throughout 2003 -- 04. During the performances, Carey wore a sparkling bra and mini-skirt. During most of the song, Carey performed it while sitting on a large sofa, before standing for the climax. At her concert in Manila, Rito P. Asilo from Philippine Daily Inquirer praised Carey 's live rendition of the song, describing it as one of the show 's high - lights. Cover versions The song was covered by several Asian artists. In 2003, singer Regine Velasquez performed a live rendition of `` Through the Rain '' as part of an intimate concert that was later broadcast on Asian television. The song was also covered by Rachelle Ann Go in the 2004 singing competition Search for a Star as her winning song. Additionally, while promoting her debut EP in the Philippines in 2007, Charice Pempengco sang an a cappella version of the song 's bridge and climax.
