Music video

The music video was directed by Jim Canty and Jake-Sebastian Wynne, and Gene Anthony Ray can also be seen in the video . The clip begins with a close-up of a big city setting. When they arrive in an office, the Weather Girls fold their umbrellas, look up into the window, receive individual texts from the employees and begin to sing the song. Izora Armstead is also on the phone. The Weather Girls look out of the window again, see men rain and jump out of the window, according to the title of the song. A group of men, larger in relation to the house, emerge from the background and pay their attention to one of the houses. In the house, "Mother Nature" (also played by Izora Armstead) goes to a round table, gets up and goes through wing-shaped hinged doors. In addition to the men, some women and the Weather Girls dance in person. One of them unfolds a roof of a house. In the house Martha Wash is lying on a heart-shaped bed, surrounded by male background dancers. Then the men rain again from the sky and the women, including the Weather Girls, then look at the newspapers. In the end everyone will dance together.
