It appears on Julius La Rosa's 1966 album You're Gonna Hear from Me, Eric Burdon's 1967 album Eric Is Here, on Newman's 1968 debut album Randy Newman, in The Randy Newman Songbook Vol. 1 (2003), and in Newman's official and bootleg live albums. It is one of his most covered songs. BackgroundNewman told Rolling Stone that he wrote the song around 1963 or 1964. He went on to say that the "music is emotional – even beautiful – and the lyrics are not." Newman also said that the song bothered him due to the darkness and that the song felt "sophomoric" and "too maudlin".[1] Newman said in 2017 that he signed away the publishing rights on his first album and as a result, does not see any money from people doing covers of those songs.[2] UB40 version{{Infobox song| name = I Think It's Going to Rain Today | cover = | alt = | type = single | artist = UB40 | album = Signing Off | A-side = My Way of Thinking | released = 6 June 1980 | format = 7" Single | recorded = | studio = | venue = | genre = Reggae | length = 3:41 | label = Graduate | producer = Bob Lamb UB40 | prev_title = King / Food for Thought | prev_year = 1980 | next_title = The Earth Dies Screaming / Dream a Lie | next_year = 1980 }} The song was covered by British reggae band UB40 in 1980.

However, the German single (which appeared later) had "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" as the A-side.[4] Charts
