"Through the Rain" is a pop song performed by singer Mariah Carey. It was composed and written by Carey and Lionel Cole for her eighth studio album Charmbracelet (2002), and it was released as the album's first single in 2002 (see 2002 in music). The song's protagonist is faced with many issues, but she overcomes them to make it "through the rain".
[edit] Release and reception
"Through the Rain" had been expected to become Carey's comeback single following the failure of her soundtrack album Glitter (2001) and its singles. However, "Through the Rain" quickly flopped, following suit of the Glitter singles. It only reached #81 in the U.S. and did not even enter the Hot 100 Airplay chart.
"Through the Rain" had remixed versions by Hex Hector & Mac Quayle (HQ2), Maurice Joshua, Full Intention and Boris Dlugosch & Michi Lange (Boris & Michi).
The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, was filmed on location in New York City. It is based on the courtship and eloping of Carey's parents, Alfred and Patricia Carey (J.D. Williams and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and incorporates themes from Charmbracelet as well as from Carey's life.
"Through the Rain" was used in Japan as the ending theme for the 2003 live-action TV adaptation of Kousuke Fujishima's manga You're Under Arrest.
