The song is famously "about nothing." Eminem explicitly points this out in the final verse, stating, "I just did a whole song and I didn't say shit".

"Rain Man" was recorded during a turbulent period for Eminem. The album Encore famously leaked early, forcing Eminem to record several new tracks at the last minute to replace the leaked material.
