“Make It Rain” is the lead single from Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut studio album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. On the track, Pop Smoke and Rowdy Rebel rap about “making it rain” bullets upon their enemies.

The track was first announced on June 10, 2020, in a post made by Pop Smoke’s manager, Steven Victor. He explained that the single would be released instead of the album, which is what was originally planned for June 12, 2020. This delay occurred out of respect for worldwide protests and unrest happening at the time, specifically regarding the murder of George Floyd and other black people at the hands of police.

The initial announcement of the song revealed that there would be a secret feature on the track, which eventually turned out to be Rowdy Rebel, the iconic member of GS9 that was incarcerated at the song’s release. This is why his verse was recorded over a telephone.
