"Raindrops (Insane)" is a song by American record producer Metro Boomin and American rapper Travis Scott from the former's second studio album Heroes & Villains (2022). It was produced by Metro, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Allen Ritter, David x Eli and Scriptplugg.
Robert Blair of HotNewHipHop described, "For Travis Scott, 'Raindrops' invokes the psychedelically-subdued cloud-rap sound of his Rodeo days".[1] Scott mentions getting pleasure from taking drugs which relieve his pain ("Pill pop the pain, this purple rain").[2]
Critical reception
The song received generally mixed reviews from critics. Robin Murray of Clash had a favorable reaction to the song, writing, "Travis Scott revs up 'Raindrops' adding an almost punk-like energy to the song".[3] In a review of Heroes & Villains, Peter A. Berry of Complex considered it among the songs which although "can suffer from lyrical blandness, their melodies make them compelling anyways."[4] Brady Brickner-Wood of Pitchfork gave a negative review, writing "Travis Scott sounds half-asleep on the unimaginative 'Raindrops (Insane)'".[5]
