"Let It Rain" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem, co-written by Goodrem with Matthew Copley and Marla Altschuler. It was released on 6 January 2020 by Sony Music Australia. The song was written in the wake of the devastating 2019–2020 bushfires in Australia. A live, stripped-down version of the song was first uploaded on Goodrem's Instagram page on New Year's Day 2020.[1]
Goodrem recorded a full studio version, with all proceeds of the single to go towards the bushfire relief effort. This version was made available for download on 6 January, and quickly topped the Australian iTunes chart.[2] The song was also a minor hit in Hungary and Scotland. The song has been used by 7 News and the Nine Network to promote fundraising efforts.[3][4]
The song was first performed live as part of Goodrem's set at the internationally televised bushfire benefit concert Fire Fight Australia, and a live recording of the song was included on the charity compilation Artists Unite for Fire Fight: Concert for National Bushfire Relief,[5] which debuted at number one on the ARIA albums chart.[6]
The song was also performed live a few days later on the Today show as part of a special episode broadcast from Lakes Entrance, one of the areas affected by the fires.[7]
Music video
A music video for the song was uploaded to Goodrem's YouTube channel on 8 January. The video was shot in monochrome and shows her performing the song on a grand piano in a large empty recording studio. The video was directed by Goodrem herself.[8]
