Why Does It Always Rain on Me? is a single by Scottish band Travis. It was the breakthrough single which earned the group international recognition. It was the third single from their second album, The Man Who, and their first Top 10 hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #10. Outside of the UK, it peaked at #11 on the Australian charts, giving the band their biggest hit in that country. Regional singles were released for the UK, Austria, Japan, and USA. The idea for the song came to Fran Healy while he was visiting Eilat, Israel - which is known for its arid climate - on a rainy period.

"American Pie" American pop star Madonna released a cover version of the song in March 2000 to promote the soundtrack to her film The Next Best Thing (2000). Her cover is much shorter than the original (it contains only the beginning of the first verse and all of the second and sixth verses) and was recorded as a pop-dance song. The cover was co-produced by Madonna and William Orbit, after Rupert Everett (Madonna's co-star in The Next Best Thing) had convinced her to cover the song for the film's soundtrack. Due to the success of the single, it was included as a bonus track on her 2000 studio album Music, making the song the first single of the new album, however this was not available on the North American version. Madonna explained in a 2001 interview on BBC Radio 1 with Jo Whiley, the reason that the song was omitted from her 2001 greatest hits compilation GHV2: "It was something a certain record company executive twisted my arm into doing, but it didn't belong on the (Music) album so now it's being punished".
