Contents 1 Background 2 Critical reception 3 Credits and personnel 4 Charts 5 References Background The Script described the track as a `` feel - good summer tune ''. `` After a very long process of making ' Album 5 ', the song ' Rain ' came right at the end. It 's a summer song so we thought, only The Script can make it ' Rain in Summer ' '' the band stated. In an interview with Metro, the band regarded the single as a progression. `` I think we have afforded ourselves a little bit of leeway. The past four records have been not the same sound but we 've been progressing at a slow rate. It 's been two years since we had something out so there 's two years worth of progression in our music. I 'm sure to a lot of people it might sound quite drastic at first but if they heard the 60 songs we 've put out you 'd hear a slower progression. '' When asked if their change in sound was deliberate, they said : `` When we started this record we wanted to do something where people would hear a song and go ' oh I love that song ! ' and then look it up and find it 's us. We wanted to change our sound a push our sound a bit. It 's either adapt, change or die in this industry. It 's very difficult in this industry. We wanted to revamp and reboot the sound and at the end of the day we 're still the same songwriters and that 's never going to go away. '' The band said that they always `` want something different in our lives '' and `` hoping our songs penetrate different markets and gain new fans '', They referred themselves as an ambitious band. `` With Rain we just decided we needed something a bit lighter, you ca n't just walk into a party of people and start with a heavy topic. It 's nice to have a bit of escapism that people can bob their head to and not be so serious about but when people peel the layers of the song they realise that lyrically we 've gone deep but on the surface we wanted people to have a bit of fun. '' Critical reception Laura McCarthy of CelebMix wrote that the song is `` very different to anything they have released before but it still sounds fantastic and exciting '', `` catchy '' and `` definitely one to sing along and dance your troubles away to ''. `` Heavy guitar chords kick in and it is a stark contrast to the melancholy sorrow the song and video is portraying. It gives you the feeling of being at a chilled party as more and more instruments are added as the song builds. The juxtaposition of the music and message of both the song and video work well to The Script 's advantage. '' Isabella Waldron of Hot Press regarded the song as `` an upbeat track with a chorus that is bound to get stuck in your head ''. Credits and personnel Credits adapted from Tidal.
