Mariah Carey, a songstress recognized worldwide.

Released in 2006, “Through the Rain” is a song that encourages listeners with the message: no matter how difficult the situation, if you don’t give up, you can overcome it.

It’s said that the catalyst for writing this song was the passing of Mariah’s father.

Born to a Black father and a white mother, Mariah’s parents reportedly eloped to get married.

They chose to be together despite opposition from those around them, and Mariah wrote this song with respect and gratitude to the parents who brought her into the world.

In the song, hardship is expressed with the word “rain.” The powerful message—“I can make it through the rain”—really strikes a chord.
