"Rainy Monday" was the third single from We Are Pilots, the 2005 album by Shiny Toy Guns, and on record it's largely the work of Chad Petree and Jeremy Dawson. Petree sings and plays guitar and bass, Dawson handles the synthesizer, and the two produced it, with Mark Saunders co-producing, engineering alongside Dawson and joining both on the mix. Mike Martin plays drums and percussion, and Chad and Stephen Petree share the writing credit.

The Morning Call's Len Ringhi heard a fake Peter Gabriel and A-ha hybrid that might just be a guilty pleasure. It reached No. 23 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, and the video dresses the whole band in black, with Carah on bass. It later turned up on CBS's Viva Laughlin and the British series Waterloo Road.
