This lighthearted anthem finds Luke Combs singing of riding a lucky steak after getting dumped. Well I've been on one hell of a redneck roll For three weeks now And it all started on the day that she walked out Combs inverts the old woe-is-me phrase on this tongue-in-cheek tune with a sharp twist.
Combs co-wrote the treatment for the song's music video with director Tyler Adams. He called in his best friends from his Charleston, South Carolina, high school to appear in the clip. "Every night on tour when we start playing 'When It Rains It Pours,' you can feel the fans kick it up a notch," the singer explained. "It's just a fun song and I always think 'Damn, I kinda wanna be this guy in the song. He's got it figured out.' So for the video, I convinced my buddies to meet me in Charleston, we traced the footsteps of the song for two days at the beach and somehow they let us film it as an official music video," he added. "I hope the fans have as much fun watching this as we had making it."
Luke Combs penned the song with frequent writing partner Ray Fulcher and Jordan Walker of the duo Walker McGuire. He recalled to The Boot the session that produced the track: "I don't know if there's necessarily a personal side to it as much [as] it was a good story we wrote. I had the title in my phone; I keep titles in my phone. It was just one of those things where I came in and had the title, 'When It Rains It Pours.' I thought it was going to be a sad song. Jordan Walker was like, 'Why don't we make it a fun, not sad, thing?' So me and Jordan and Ray wrote it, and it turned out great. We tried to have fun with it and write it in a '90s, early-Brad Paisley kind of song, is what we were going for with that thing. Luckily, in my opinion, we nailed it. People seem to love it so far."
