When There's Sunshine We'll Shine Together
Told You I'll Be Here Forever
Said I'll Always Be A Friend
Took An Oath I'mma Stick It Out 'Till The End
Now That It's Raining More Than Ever

Will Never Come In Between
You're Part Of My Entity
Here For Infinity
When The War Has Took Its Part
When The World Has Dealt Its Cards
If The Hand Is Hard
Together We'll Mend Your Heart, Because
When There's Sunshine We'll Shine Together
Told You I'll Be Here Forever
Said I'll Always Be A Friend
Took An Oath I'mma Stick It Out 'Till The End
Now That It's Raining More Than Ever
Know That We'll Still Have Each Other

In This Song, Rihanna Comforts Her Partner By Singing About How She Will Be There For Him In Good Times And Bad. She Knows That Even Though He Is A Star, There Will Be Some Rough Times, Which She Articulates In The Lyrics, "Baby Cause In The Dark You Can't See Shiny Cars, And That's When You Need Me There, With You I'll Always Share." The Umbrella Is A Metaphor For Her Support, Which She Promises To Provide.
Jay-Z, Who Runs Rihanna's Record Label Roc-A-Fella Records, Performs A Somewhat Gratuitous Rap At The Beginning Of The Song Emphasizing His Wealth And Business Success. His Presence On The Song Made It Much More Marketable Even If It Didn't Advance The Storyline.
Following The Success Of This Song, Rihanna Launched A Line Of Umbrellas Through The Totes Company.
Mandy Moore Recorded A New Version Of This Song, Which Was Used On An Episode Of Mtv's The Hills.
At The 2007 Mtv Video Music Awards, This Won For Video Of The Year.

Rihanna And British Band The Klaxons Performed This In A Mash-Up With The Klaxons' "Golden Skans" At The 2008 Brit Awards Ceremony. The Barbadian Singer Told Bbc 6music: "It Was Really Different, Very Cool, Unexpected. But When I Hear It, I Just Want To Hear It More. It Makes It So Much More Rock And Roll. It's A Different Tempo And Everything. But I Actually Want To Release A Version Like That. Maybe The Same Version. I Really, Really Liked It."
The Welsh Rock Band Manic Street Preachers Recorded A Version Of This For An Album Of Covers By Various Acts For The New Musical Express. Released As A Digital Only Single, It Climbed To #47 In The Uk Chart. Their Bassist Nicky Wire Told The New Musical Express: "This Was My Favorite Track Of 2007. It's Just So Razor-Sharp. And Who'd Have Thought A Song Called 'Umbrella' Would Be #1 All Over The World? It's Such An Un-Pop Word. I Love It When A Record Seems To Come From Another Universe. I Just Wanted Us To Have A Stab At It!"
England Was Pounded By Rain During The Summer Of 2007 When This Song Was A Huge Hit. The London Newspaper The Sun Suggested That "Umbrella" Might Be The Cause, As Clubgoers Could Have Been Doing An Unintentional Rain Dance When It Played. They Suggested A Ban On Rihanna And An Effort To Download Songs Like "In The Summertime."
"Umbrella" Was The Most-Searched Song On Google In 2007.
