Okay, ARMYs, time for some tea —BTS’ RM and Epik High’s Tablo are finally dropping their long-lost collab “Stop the Rain” on May 2, 2025, Turns out, this track was cooked up three years ago, but it stayed locked away because… it hit way too close to home. Tablo spilled that after recording, they realized the lyrics were basically ripped from their personal journals—and he wasn’t sure if it was too raw to share.

The story goes: After vibing on All Day for RM’s Indigo, the duo wanted something totally different. They found a theme that felt right: rain, vulnerability, and change. RM even recorded his parts right before heading into military service. Still, Tablo hesitated, because “RM’s journal is a different story.” But boom! RM recently hit Tablo up and gave the green light for the release.

Tablo made it clear he won’t go crazy promoting it. Instead, he just wants fans to find it, love it, and let it live its best life. In the end, “Stop the Rain” isn’t just a song—it’s a capsule of emotions from the two artists. Ready your tissues, because it sure will make you ugly-cry!
