The lead single from Set You Free was penned by Allan with Matt Warren and Hillary Lindsey. The album title comes from a line in the song, which the singer explained is indicative of the theme of the entire LP. "Every storm runs out of rain," said Allan, "so I think that's what this album is about, is me coming up for air." The song was released to Country radio on September 17, 2012.
It was Matt Warren who came up with the idea for the song after a frustrating day. "Matt was kind of going through a hard time," Allan told The Boot. "He was going through a dry spell, like all writers do, and he hadn't been writing many songs. He was doing yard work one day, weed eating, and he hit a rock and it hit the house and then bounced back and hit him in the forehead. He was pissed, and he called me and talked to me about it, saying, 'I'm so sick of mowing lawns. We need a hit.' ... He had the line, 'Every storm runs out of rain.'"
The music video was directed by Stephen Shepherd and filmed at an old slaughterhouse in East Nashville. "It looks like an apartment complex with the walls blown out of it," said Allan to The Boot. "We shot up on the roof; we put the whole band up there underneath some rain machines."
