Lyrics

[Lady Gaga]:
I didn’t ask for a free ride
I only ask you to show me a real good time
I never asked for the rainfall
At least I showed up
You showed me nothing at all

It’s coming down on me
Water like misery
It’s coming down on me
I’m ready, rain on me

I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me, rain rain
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me

Rain on me!

[Ariana Grande]:
Mmhm, oh yeah, baby

[Lady Gaga]:
Rain on me!

[Ariana Grande] & (Lady Gaga) :
Living in a world where no one’s innocent
Oh but at least we try mmhm
Gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in
So I don’t lose my mind, baby yeah

I can feel it on my skin
(It’s coming down on me)
Teardrops on my face
(Water like misery)
Let it wash away my sins
(It’s coming down on me)
Let it wash away

[Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande] (Ariana Grande):
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me, rain rain
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me (Rain on me!)

[Ariana Grande]:
Rain on me!

[Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande] (Ariana Grande):
Rain on me! (Oh yeah!)
(Rain on me, mm yeah)

[Lady Gaga]:
Rain on me!

[Ariana Grande]:
Rain on me, rain on

[Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande] (Lady Gaga):
Hands up to the sky
(I’ll be your galaxy)
I’m about to fly
(Rain on me, tsunami)
Hands up to the sky
(I’ll be your galaxy)
I’m about to fly

[Lady Gaga] (Ariana Grande) :
Rain on me (Rain on me!)

[Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande] (Lady Gaga) :
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me, rain rain
(Rain on me!)

[Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande] (Ariana Grande) :
I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive (At least I'm alive)
Rain on me, rain rain
Rain on me (Rain on me!)

[Ariana Grande] & (Lady Gaga) :
I hear the thunder coming down, won’t you rain on me?
Eh, y-yeah
(Rain on me)
I hear the thunder coming down, won’t you rain on me?
Eh, y-yeah
(Rain on me)

Synopsis

The video begins with Lady Gaga lying on the ground with a dagger in her leg. It is raining at first before additional daggers rain from the sky into her body. Gaga starts dancing with her backup dancers when the pre-chorus starts. The camera flips the ground upside-down to show Ariana Grande dancing with some more dancers. Ariana is shown dancing with the dancers for her verse. Gaga and Ariana start dancing and singing together as the second chorus starts. When the bridge starts, Ariana and Gaga are shown holding hands as their hair flows. Gaga is shown as a giant watching over the dancers when the final chorus begins. The video ends with Gaga and Ariana hugging each other.
