NCT DREAM returns today with their new single “Rains in Heaven” via SM Entertainment and Virgin Music.
The English-language track is an ethereal 80s synth-pop song defined by a rhythmic blend of drums and bass, creating a soothing soundscape onto which NCT DREAM projects their captivating vocals. The lyrics are co-written by NCT DREAM’s MARK with Adrian McKinnon (who works regularly with NCT and EXO) and British pop songwriter Bryn Christopher (who has worked with Sigala and Louis Tomlinson). The song offers empathy for anyone feeling overwhelmed, with an added promise to be a source of strength and comfort to those who need it: “I know that you feel alone / I know that you lost all hope / But I’m always / Always by your side.“
