Background
The song has a strong melodic rock connotation and speaks of optimism. "Never Gonna Rain" premiered on the Steve Wright show Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2, and was accompanied by a very intimate video clip.[4]
Adams said, "The ultimate optimist is someone who keeps on expecting the best, even in the face of the worst. Living in the moment, instead of in fear. Turning the negatives into positives. Taking the rain and turning it into a gift."[1]
Music video
The video for the single was directed by Adams, and was filmed in November 2021 in the loading bay of the Wynn Las Vegas, with guitarist Keith Scott on guitar and drummer Pat Steward. The video of the song was published on Adams' official YouTube channel.[5]
