Speaking about the upcoming ‘Underneath My Raincoat’ release, Studio Killers say “We wanted to make a very uplifting piece of music. Our magic moment was influenced by some African school children singing in a documentary. We felt this energy coming from a choir, as this fell into place, we started making the music backward, starting with the section that is now the breakdown and "drop" before the final chorus. The inspiration for the lyrics came when we saw two girls coming out of a store into a pouring rain and one of them took the other girl under her raincoat and they both had this timid smile on their faces. It was just such a cinematic moment, and we thought these kids deserve a song. Sharing a raincoat is such a powerful and cute image. And a great way to show someone you love them even if you're too shy to say it out loud…”
