22 years today, @Madonna released 'Rain' as the 5th single from Erotica 

The song was released on July 17, 1993 by Maverick Records. It was released as the fifth single internationally, but the fourth single in North America. The song was produced and written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone. Lyrically, the song likens rain to the empowering effect of love, and as with water's ability to clean and wash away physical things, to also wash away pain.

Get Together was Madge’s 58th Top 10 hit and her third of four Top 10s from Number 1 album Confessions On A Dance Floor. The star wasn't keen on shooting a video for this track, so her performance from the album's promotional tour was given a quick swizz through After Effects and used instead.
