Actual ejaculation... yall were nasty for spreading that rumor.

SWV Clears Up Rumors About The Meaning Of Their Hit “Rain”​

Veronica Wells

It was not uncommon for artists, of any decade, to sneak hidden messages into their songs. Many of us didn’t know that D’Angelo’s “Brown Sugar” was about weed for quite a while.
You have to really listen to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy,” to catch the implications about life and death, heaven or hell. It’s a clever trick to get people clapping and dancing to your songs while sliding in deeper or scandalous meanings.

So it should come as no surprise that people started to look for these meanings in their favorite songs. One of them was SWV’s “Rain.” With lyrics like,
“Full as a dam at capacity
My passion’s about to explode, yeah
I can’t escape, it’s surrounding me
I’m caught in a storm
That I don’t need no shelter from…”

and…
“Rain down (on) on me
Let you’re love just fall like rain drops
Rain on me
Just
Rain down (on) on me
Let you’re love just shower me
Just rain on me.”


Some people assumed that the sistas were singing about certain biological functions that get engaged in the midst of xesual activity – like male or female ejaculate, maybe.
But it was a stretch of the imagination. And during an appearance of BET’s HER, SWV explained that those interpretations were not accurate.

See what the women had to say about the song and other fun facts about “Rain” in the transcription and video below.
Lele: There has been so many speculations about the meaning of this song.
Coko: It’s not true.
Lele: Apparently, I had it wrong too.
Coko: Yeah, ya did.
Lele: What is the meaning of “Rain”?
Coko: It’s just rain. It’s about love.
Lele: A lot of people don’t understand, they don’t know rather that “Rain” was written for Brandy. And we’re so happy that she did not want that song. Because it made our lives a lot easier

Yes, this song was written for Brandy in 1997 for her Never Say Never album. I don't think she ever recorded it but I would love to hear her vocals on it.

As for the meaning, I thought it was about love when I was a kid. Now as an adult, all I hear is ejaculation lol.

Why couldn't they just give the "It's whatever you want it to be" answer like Lloyd did? Lol
