This is about an analog of tears being the rain. And you know what it’s also a metaphor for, is the amount of drinking that I was doing to numb myself. I’d rather be dry.
Review: Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande – Rain On Me
“Rain On Me” is about persevering through your troubles and finding solace and comfort in the fact that things will get better. It is the second single off Chromatica, Gaga’s sixth studio album, and marks the first collaboration between Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.
The song playing overhead sees the pair revisiting public battles through trauma as they belt therapeutic lyrics about resilience and strength in a lyrical “celebration of all the tears,” as Gaga previously told Paper magazine of the duet.
Thank you for reminding me I’m strong, I’m super emotional and love you so very much, I cherish you @ArianaGrande and little monsters without you I don’t know how I would survive. I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive.

Shortly after the song’s release Friday morning, Gaga and Grande exchanged emotional Twitter messages celebrating their mutual adoration: “Thank you for reminding me I’m strong, I’m super emotional and love you so very much, I cherish you @ArianaGrande and little monsters without you I don’t know how I would survive. I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive,” Gaga wrote, before Grande further elaborated on the pair’s electric attraction to one another.
Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande – Rain On Me (Lyrics)
[Verse 1: Lady Gaga]
I didn’t ask for a free ride
I only asked you to show me a real good time
I never asked for the rainfall
At least I showed up, you showed me nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga]
It’s coming down on me
Water like misery
It’s coming down on me
I’m ready, rain on me
[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me
[Post-Chorus: Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande]
Rain on me
Mmm, oh yeah, baby
Rain on me
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
Livin’ in a world where no one’s innocent
Oh, but at least we try, mmm
Gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in
So I don’t lose my mind, baby, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Lady Gaga]
I can feel it on my skin (It’s comin’ down on me)
Teardrops on my face (Water like misery)
Let it wash away my sins (It’s coming down on me)
Let it wash away, yeah
[Chorus: Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande]
I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain (Rain) on (On) me
[Post-Chorus: Ariana Grande, Both & Lady Gaga]
Rain on me
Rain on me
Oh yeah, yeah
Rain on me, ooh yeah
Rain on me
Rain on me, ooh
[Bridge: Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande]
Hands up to the sky
I’ll be your galaxy
I’m about to fly
Rain on me, tsunami
Hands up to the sky
I’ll be your galaxy
I’m about to fly
Rain on me (Rain on me)
[Chorus: Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, Ariana Grande & Lady Gaga]
I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive (Rain on me)
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain (Rain on me)
I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive (At least I’m alive)
Rain on me, rain, rain (Rain on me, babe)
Rain on me (Rain on me)
[Outro: Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande]
I hear the thunder comin’ down
Won’t you rain on me?
Eh, eh, yeah (Rain on, woo)
I hear the thunder comin’ down
Won’t you rain on me? (Me)
Eh, eh, yeah
Rain on me
