"Tears in the Rain" is a song written by Diane Warren and Desmond Child, and originally released by American singer Robin Beck in 1989 on her second album Trouble or Nothin'. It was later covered by Jennifer Rush for her 1995 album Out of My Hands.
"Tears in the Rain" was released as the third single from Trouble or Nothin in late 1989. The single only charted in Austria and West Germany, and did not reach the same success as Beck's previous two singles "First Time" and "Save Up All Your Tears".
"Tears in the Rain" was covered by American singer Jennifer Rush for her 1995 album Out of My Hands and was released in January 1995 by EMI Records as the lead single from that album. The single was produced by Desmond Child and charted in Germany and Switzerland, becoming Jennifer's highest-charting single of the 1990s in both countries.
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "ACE [Adult Contemporary Europe] stations which edit power ballads by cutting out the guitar solo, will have no difficulties with this keyboard-dominated one featuring a slightly disguised reggae intermezzo."
