Queen of Rain was the second single taken from Swedish pop duo Roxette's 1992 album, Tourism: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotelrooms & Other Strange Places.[1]

It was originally written and recorded for the highly successful Joyride album. Initially considered as a closing track, it was replaced by "Perfect Day". Instead it became a cornerstone on 1992's Tourism album.

There is a version in Spanish called "Una reina va detrás de un rey" released in 1992, by Roxette for the compilation album "Baladas En Español".
