"Let It Rain" is a song by English pop boy band East 17, released on 13 March 1995 as the fourth single from their second album, Steam (1994). The song reached the top 10 in the United Kingdom and the top 20 in Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway.

Critical reception[]

Music Week gave "Let It Rain" four out of five, writing, "A more upbeat, but equally commercial, follow-up to the band's Christmas number one is in remixed form, ensuring interest from even Steam-owning fans. It will no doubt be boosted by the lads' Brits performance last week."[2] Editor Alan Jones deemed it "preposterous".[3] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update described it as a "'love rain down on me' chorused rap" track.[4]
