Group member Tionne Watkins commented on this, saying 'It wasn't that I didn't like the song, it was more so that I felt like I've already been there, done that, and I was just on another page at the time'. The track was originally written for TLC for their fourth studio album 3D, but the group turned the track down. Just waiting for the sun to come and shine again. On the record, I’m basically saying that it’s these rainy days that we spend a lifetime trying to wash away. But these times, especially right now what’s going on, it kind of fits. Speaking to TRL, he said, 'It’s basically about how we feel going through life. It will pass but today this is what it is. I felt like the nation-us as a country, us as people-we were going through a rainy day. He told Complex, 'I went in my basement in my studio and put that record together because that’s how I was feeling about the situation.
