"Rain Over Me" is a song by Cuban-American rapper Pitbull from his sixth studio album, Planet Pit. It features vocals from Puerto Rican-American singer Marc Anthony. The song was written by Pitbull, RedOne, Marc Anthony, Bilal "The Chef" Hajji, AJ Janussi and Rachid "Rush" Aziz. It was also produced by RedOne, Rush and Jimmy Joker. It was released on June 10, 2011, as the third promotional single from the album and received a full release as the album's third official single on June 8, 2011.

It charted at number 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song also became Pitbull's second number one single on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart as well his first number-one single on the Tropical Songs. In addition, it is Marc Anthony's sixth number-one single on the Hot Latin Songs and twentieth number-one single on the Tropical Songs, reclaiming his position as having the artist with the most number-one Tropical Songs chart after a two-year tie with Víctor Manuelle.[4] The music video was directed by David Rosseau, who also directed a previous Pitbull single, "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" in 2009.[5] The song is featured on the dance rhythm game, Just Dance 2020.

Background and composition

"Rain Over Me" is a dance song produced by RedOne, David Rush and Jimmy Joker. It contains dramatic "disco-rave" synths.[6] According to Robert Copsey of Digital Spy the song is "a step outside his [Pitbull's] usual robotic sound.[7] Bill Lamb of About.com noted that both Pitbull and Marc Anthony are of Latin Caribbean descent, referring to the song as a "superstar Latin Caribbean duet".[8]

Music video

The music video was released onto Pitbull's official Vevo channel on July 22, 2011. The video was directed by David Rousseau. It features both Pitbull and Marc Anthony in the desert along with actress Natalie Martinez, with many water effects.

On April 13, 2020, the video surpassed the 1 billion views mark, thus making it in the first 200 YouTube videos to reach this milestone. This is the third and second video to accomplish this feat for Pitbull and Marc Anthony in that order respectively.[9]
