Set against a rain-soaked New York City rooftop, this reimagined version strips "Fashion Week" down to its emotional core. Raquel's piano arrangement and powerful vocals transform the track into a moving ballad, while Smiley and Sadboi's verses blend naturally into the stripped-down composition.

"Rain often feels like renewal or reflection," Raquel explains. "This song is about being present with your emotions, and the rain was the perfect backdrop for that."

This marks the second episode in Raquel's series, following her previous collaboration with R&B singer Luna Elle. Through these sessions, Raquel consistently demonstrates her ability to reinvent familiar songs, offering listeners a fresh perspective through thoughtfully arranged performances and carefully chosen visual elements.

The performance creates an intimate atmosphere that makes the universal themes of the song feel deeply personal, showcasing Raquel's talent for transforming music into memorable moments that resonate with audiences in unexpected ways.
