“Purple Rain” foi lançada como o terceiro single do álbum‑trilha sonora homônimo de 1984, que também deu nome ao filme estrelado por Prince.
A canção ficou em segundo lugar na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA por duas semanas em novembro de 1984, mas chegou ao primeiro lugar na parada Cash Box, onde permaneceu por duas semanas.
Depois da morte de Prince em 2016, “Purple Rain” voltou às paradas: atingiu o quarto lugar na Billboard Hot 100 em maio de 2016 e chegou ao primeiro lugar nas paradas francesas uma semana após seu falecimento.
No Super Bowl XLI (2007), a apresentação de Prince terminou com “Purple Rain” enquanto chovia no estádio e a iluminação era roxa, tornando‑se uma das apresentações de intervalo mais lembradas da história.
A música foi incluída na lista da Rolling Stone de 2021 como a 18ª melhor canção de todos os tempos e faz parte da coleção “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll” do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
