Background and release

Raveena announced Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain in May 2024 alongside the single "Lucky".[2] Earlier that month, she released "Pluto", her first song since Asha's Awakening.[2] In a press statement reported by Pitchfork, Raveena explained that the title refers to butterflies hiding from rain to protect their wings, which she connected to her own need for comfort and rest.[2]

The album was released on June 14, 2024, and contains 14 tracks.[1] A deluxe edition was later released with 18 tracks.[1]
