Sonnet is best known in her native country for her appearances on The Masked Singer and speaking about her new song, she says. "This song isn't just about a break-up. Through the metaphor of rain, I wanted to express what it feels like to live with the memories of someone you wish you could forget, the fear of loving again, and the question of whether you still have the strength to face yourself."
