The song was released on September 7, 2010, as the second and final single from the band's second album of the same name. A Spanish-language version of the song was also recorded, entitled "Un año sin lluvia" [unˈaɲosiɲˈʎuβja] . Gomez titled the album for the song because she wanted to base all the other songs around it. Musically, the song is a Eurodance track backed with a disco beat. In its lyrics, the song's protagonist compares yearning for her love to a year without rain.

Music critics gave the song positive reviews, complimenting it as a dance ballad and noting Gomez's vocal maturity.

In early 2010, a demo of the song, performed by singer RaVaughn leaked online. Becky Bain of Idolator called the song a "mature dance track" and said that it "wouldn’t entirely be out of place on a Sophie Ellis-Bextor album." [1] In an interview with MTV News, Gomez said that "A Year Without Rain" was the first song she recorded for the album. [2] She also explained why she named the album for the song, commenting, "I feel like that song has a lot of meaning, and it also kind of was the start of what I wanted to base all the other songs around." [2] A Spanish-language version of the song titled "Un Año Sin Lluvia" was released through the iTunes Store on October 26, 2010. [3]

"A Year Without Rain" was written by Lindy Robbins and Toby Gad, the later also producing it, with a length of three minutes and twenty-nine seconds. [4] Musically, it has been described as a dance track, [1] more specifically as Eurodance. [5] It has also been called a synth-pop [6] and electro track [7] which uses a standard pop structure and is backed with a disco beat. [4] According to sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by EMI Music Publishing, "A Year Without Rain" is set in common time and has a tempo of 120 beats per minute. [8] It is written in the key of C Mixolydian and follows the chord progression of C–Gm–Dm–F throughout most of the song, but the bridge is written in D minor, following a chord progression of Bb-C-Am-Dm. [8] It's important to mention that C Mixolydian and D minor share the same key signature, so the musical notes of both modes are the same, but the tonic note is different. [8] Gomez's vocals in the song span from F3 to E5. [8] Lyrically, the song sees Gomez longing for the object of her affection and compares it to a year without rain: "I need you by my side/ Don't know how I'll survive/A day without you is like a year without rain." [4] According to Megan Vick of Billboard , the sound of the song contrasts with its "tender" lyrics. [4]

Reception

Critical reception

Although he called it one of the album's "pensive moments", Bill Lamb of About.com noted the track as one of the top songs on the album, calling it a "beautiful dance ballad." [9] Lamb also said the song shows "Selena Gomez is clearly growing up as an artist." [10] Stating that it showed her "maturation as an artist", Lamb later ranked the song number thirty-nine on the site's list of "Top 100 Pop Songs of 2010". [11] Allmusic's Tim Sendra also named the song a standout on the album, calling it "catchy" and "well-sung". [12] Megan Vick of Billboard said that while Gomez did not have the vocal power of Demi Lovato, she "makes a strong effort to attack the high notes as she croons the chorus". [4] Vick stated that the song "is compelling enough to separate the singer from other Disney-groomed pop stars." [4] Wairarapa Times-Age writer Kim Gillespie named "A Year Without Rain" one of the album's highlights. [13] David Welsh of musicOMH noted Gomez' mature performance and wrote that the song "reaps rewards with an impressively heartbroken stab at euro-dance". [5] In contrast, The Washington Post critic Allison Stewart was unfavorable of the lyrical content of the song, commenting that it was "the sort of exercise in teenage co-dependence...that should be long extinct." [14]

Chart performance

Propelled by its debut at number fourteen on the Hot Digital Songs chart, "A Year Without Rain" debuted at number thirty-five on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's third consecutive top forty single. [15] It remained on the chart for four weeks. [15] On the week dated January 1, 2011, the song debuted at number thirty-six on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart. [16] As of August 2014, the song has sold 1,002,000 downloads in the US. [17]

The song achieved greater success in Canada, peaking at thirty on the Canadian Hot 100. [18] The song also appeared on numerous European charts, peaking at seventy-eight in the United Kingdom, [19] fifty-six in Germany, [20] and forty-one in Slovakia. [21] It also reached number three on the Belgian Flanders Tip chart. [22]

Music videos

The music video, directed by Chris Dooley, was shot on location in Lucerne Valley, California. [23] It premiered on September 3, 2010, on Disney Channel, following the premiere of Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and a sneak peek of Fish Hooks . [23] [24] The video starts off with the band driving through the desert in a red convertible. Gomez removes a photograph from the sun visor, which is subsequently blown away by the wind. The chorus commences as the band disappears and Gomez steps out of the vehicle, wearing a dress and begins to sing. As the video progresses, a multitude of photographs of her relationship fall from the sky, as Gomez travels elegantly through the desert. During the bridge, it starts to rain as Gomez spots her love interest (Niko Pepaj) in the distance. The two begin to walk towards each other, and the video ends as they meet and hold hands.

Nadine Cheung of AOL JSYK said "She sings: 'I'm missing you so much / Can't help it, I'm in love / A day without you is like a year without rain' and that's really what's depicted in a simple and sweet way." [25]

A Spanish version ("Un Año Sin Lluvia") of the video was released on November 19 on Vevo. [26]

Live performances

The band first performed the song on September 22, 2010, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show . [27] The band performed the song on Good Morning America on September 23, 2010. [27] On November 16, 2010, the band performed the song on Lopez Tonight , and they performed it on Live with Regis and Kelly on December 1, 2010. [28] They performed the song at the 2011 People's Choice Awards on January 5, 2011, and afterwards were awarded the Choice award for Favorite Breakout Artist. [29] Gomez appeared on stage accompanied by low lights and fog. [29] Kara Warner of MTV News commented, "Although it wasn't a stadium-rocking performance à la Lady Gaga or Katy Perry, Gomez powered through her pop song with a sense of earnestness and commitment. She didn't even miss a beat when her earpiece appeared to fall out mid-song." The song was also performed during the "We Own the Night Tour". [29]
