Originally written for Annie Lennox, "Everytime It Rains" was the fourth single released from Ace of Base's Re-Release of Flowers in the UK. This song was written by Rick Nowels, Billy Steinberg and Maria Vidal.

Malin Berggren, looking to take a secondary role in the band, was called in to record the song at the request of Clive Davis. Berggren flew to Norway to record her vocals, and demanded that she only do one take. This one vocal take was used for the released version. Jenny Berggren originally recorded the song solo for the group.

A radio edit of the ballad hit radios on April 5, 1999. It was also remixed for American audiences and promotionally released as a lead single for their Greatest Hits record in April 2000. The song was not released commercially in the United States.
