"Raindrops" is a dance music song released in 2006, the first international hit by the relatively new production team Stunt. Produced in Canada by Dave Valler and Gary Johnson, it reached number 8 in Finland.[1] At least six different mixes have been released.[2] Lyrically, "Raindrops" compares the feeling of "raindrops on my skin" to love.

An early report by the Guildford Borough Council describes Smitten-Downes' involvement in the piece:

Molly Smitten-Downes, a student at Guildford’s Academy of Contemporary Music, recorded a song called "Raindrops" which had already received airtime on commercial radio and BBC One in November, two months before going on general release. In co-operation with a former student, Dave Valler, she also wrote the lyrics and melody to a backing track owned by Jiant Productions; the song was to be released through Ministry of Sound, with whom Molly and Dave signed a publishing deal which, it was hoped, might lead to a career of stardom.[3]
