Psy and MAMAMOO member Hwasa have scheduled the release of a cover of Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora's smash ballad "When The Rain Begins To Fall," which was released in 1984.

Psy previewed the cover in a series of social media posts and
videos on 20th April. Their version of the song will be called 'Now,' and
it will be a copy of Seoul Family's 1987 song of the same name, which was a
remake of Jackson and Zadora's 'When the Rain Begins to Fall.'

“I thought it was a brand new song that Psy will be releasing,” Hwasa said of the upcoming release in one of the teasers. “When I first heard it, I was shocked. I thought he [would send] over a hip-hop track, or something along those lines.”
