Released to US radio on May 20, 1997, and as a CD single on July 2, 1997, “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” served as the lead solo single from Supa Dupa Fly. Built around a sample of Ann Peebles’s “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” its lyrics borrow that chorus while Missy’s unhurried flow and Timbaland’s off-kilter beats created a trip-hop–inflected alternative-hip-hop staple. The Hype Williams–directed video premiered June 3, 1997, and the track peaked at No. 6 on Hot R&B Airplay and No. 51 on Hot 100 Airplay, later cracking the Top 20 in the UK and New Zealand
