A lush 90s-style R&B slow jam sung by a female vocalist in the style of TLC, En Vogue, and SWV, “Butterfly in the Rain (Groove Is in My Heart)” tells the story of a love that burned fast like a one-hit wonder. Song titles from the 90s are reimagined as emotions, places, or metaphors: “Torn” is her heartbreak, “MmmBop” is a fleeting spark, “No Rain” means a loss of hope, “What Is Love” becomes a question with no answer. She moves like a “Butterfly”, lives in a “Virtual Insanity”, kisses to “How Bizarre”, and disappears like “Macarena”. The love interest is “Too Sexy” but full of “Crush”-level promises. Mentions of “Sex and Candy”, “Blue (Da Ba Dee)”, “Steal My Sunshine”, “I Touch Myself”, “Barbie Girl”, “Rico Suave”, and “Bitter Sweet Symphony” are turned into poetic textures and dream-like settings. Smooth harmonies, vinyl crackle, and late-night allure wrap this track like a forgotten mixtape
The image captures a woman standing in the rain, wearing a red shirt and a ponytail, as she sings a song that tells the story of a love that burned fast like a one-hit wonder. The scene is set in a city at night, with a few other people visible in the background. The woman's emotions and the environment create a sense of nostalgia and longing, reminiscent of the 90s R&B slow jams she is singing. The song titles from that era are reimagined as emotions, places, or metaphors, adding depth and meaning to the lyrics. The woman's movement and the overall atmosphere evoke a feeling of butterfly-like freedom and the fleeting nature of love.

[Intro - Vinyl crackle, soft harmonies] (MmmBop... just a spark... just a spark...) [Verse 1] You were my \"Crush\", said all the right things Slippin' into dreams, coated in \"Sex and Candy\" Your touch was \"Blue (Da Ba Dee)\", unreal and surreal Like kissin’ in \"Virtual Insanity\"—could this even be real? [Pre-Chorus] Torn between the rhythm and the pain I was the \"Butterfly\" caught dancing in your rain [Chorus] I'm just a butterfly in the rain Groove still beats, but it don’t feel the same One-hit wonder, faded refrain You were my \"What Is Love\"—and I still don’t know your name [Verse 2] We kissed to \"How Bizarre\" on your bedroom floor Whispers full of promises, and then you wanted more You called me \"Barbie Girl\" with your Rico Suave charm But your heart was an echo, cold and unarmed [Pre-Chorus] \"No Rain\"—that was hope drying out Now I'm spinning like a mixtape, full of doubt [Chorus] I'm just a butterfly in the rain Groove still beats, but it don’t feel the same One-hit wonder, faded refrain You were my \"What Is Love\"—and I still don’t know your name [Bridge] You moved like a phantom through my Bitter Sweet Symphony I touched myself remembering what used to be All the late nights, the too-sexy light Flew too high, lost you in flight [Refrain] Butterfly... Butterfly... Groove is in my heart, but my wings say goodbye [Outro] Now the song’s over, your echo remains Left my love spinning in vintage lanes Like \"Macarena\", you danced away Still, I groove... in the rain... [Fade Out and End]
