"When It Rains" is the debut single by American country music group Eli Young Band, released in October 2007 from their 2008 album Jet Black & Jealous.
The song was written by band member James Young.
In his review of the album, Andrew Leahy of AllMusic gave the song a very positive review, praising its lyrics as well as the production, writing that "Like the other 11 songs on Jet Black & Jealous, the revamped version of "When It Rains" gleams with commercial sheen, from its polished vocals to the crisp mix of banjo, pedal steel, and electric guitar.
But there's also a fiery quality to the song, whose twang is balanced by Nashville-gothic lyrics ("It's good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside") and rock & roll guitars.
