That may even be why they passed on it.

They already had a song in vein and it was produced by Rodney.

They say it wasn't but know it really was.

QuoteBut it was a stretch of the imagination. And during an appearance of BET's HER, SWV explained that those interpretations were not accurate.

See what the women had to say about the song and other fun facts about "Rain" in the transcription and video below.

Lele: There has been so many speculations about the meaning of this song.

Coko: It's not true.

Lele: Apparently, I had it wrong too.

Coko: Yeah, ya did.

Lele: What is the meaning of "Rain"?

Coko: It's just rain. It's about love.

Lele: A lot of people don't understand, they don't know rather that "Rain" was written for Brandy. And we're so happy that she did not want that song. Because it made our lives a lot easier

Taj: You know what's another fun fact about that song? A lot of people don't realize that SWV gave a lot of artists their start. In that video, you'll see Tyrese. Who was a baby at that time. Pharrell was a baby at that time. Just about everybody we worked with—they were babies.

Lele: Rodney Jerkins.

Coko: Another funny thing about the video is people want to know why we're sitting down the whole video. My ankle was broken in that video.

Lele: We won't say why.

Coko: I tripped over Lele's shoe.

Would've been amazing if she did. Fits her like a glove. But then I imagine that they woulda probably cut one of the NSN songs for The Rain and I love every song on NSN so I'm kinda happy that didnt happen either. I guess at that time, she could be choosey cause I mean, the smashes she had alrdy, this prob wasnt as strong for her.
