"Raindrops" is a popular song written and recorded by American R&B singer Dee Clark, released in April 1961.

Clark was reportedly inspired to write the song after a late night drive through a heavy rainstorm.

Accordingly, the opening and closing of the song both feature heavy rain and thunder sound effects, with the closing augmented by Clark's powerful, swooping falsetto.

Musicians on the record included Al Duncan on drums, Quinn Wilson on bass, Earl Skarritt on electric guitar and Phil Upchurch on acoustic guitar, plus a string section.

Billboard ranked it as the ninth most popular song of the year for 1961.
