Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande are two of the fiercest females in the music industry. Whenever one of the artists drops a new song, fans hang on every lyric they sing. That's why, when Gaga and Grande teamed up for a duet in May 2020 — during a worldwide pandemic — fans knew whatever they came up with was going to be magic, and that's exactly what it was. Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me" lyrics are super powerful.

The single, off Gaga's upcoming "Chromatica" album, dropped on Friday, May 22, and was an instant hit. Fans got confirmation that a Grande and Gaga collab was in the works when Gaga's "Chromatica" track list leaked in April. (Not to mention, the track list showed that Gaga also teamed up with Elton John and BLACKPINK for songs on the album, but more of that at a later date.)

Grande later confirmed that the song would drop sooner than fans expected. "Rain on me," Grande captioned artwork for the duet, adding that the tune would be released on May 22.

After days of social media posts teasing the collab, "Rain on Me" is finally here, and fans are so psyched. Listen to Gaga and Grande's song below, and scroll down for all of the lyrics.

It's coming down on me

I'm ready, rain on me
