Composition

Robert Blair of HotNewHipHop described, "For Travis Scott, 'Raindrops' invokes the psychedelically-subdued cloud-rap sound of his Rodeo days". [1] Scott mentions getting pleasure from taking drugs which relieve his pain ("Pill pop the pain, this purple rain"). [2]

Critical reception

The song received generally mixed reviews from critics. Robin Murray of Clash had a favorable reaction to the song, writing, "Travis Scott revs up 'Raindrops' adding an almost punk-like energy to the song". [3] In a review of Heroes & Villains, Peter A. Berry of Complex considered it among the songs which although "can suffer from lyrical blandness, their melodies make them compelling anyways." [4] Brady Brickner-Wood of Pitchfork gave a negative review, writing "Travis Scott sounds half-asleep on the unimaginative 'Raindrops (Insane)'". [5]
