The first single "It's Raining" along with the album of the same name went no. #1 throughout Southeast Asia, cementing Rain's position as one of the region's top musical acts. A more upbeat, hip-hop influence was displayed on the single "It's Raining" as well as throughout the album.

From 2004 to 2006, the album sold over 200,000 copies in South Korea.[1][2][3][4] For the Japanese release, the album was released with a different cover as well as the making of "It's Raining" music video.[5]
