"Cry" is a song by American recording artist Mandy Moore, released on November 4, 2001 by Epic Records. It was written and produced by James Renald. Peter Mokran also helped produce the song. The song was released as the third single from her self-titled third album. The song achieved minor success in the United States but was a big hit in Asia, especially in the Philippines.

"Cry" received positive reviews from music critics, and was one of the songs most adored by MTV at the time of its release. The lyrics of "Cry" focuses on a girl who thinks that love is insensitive. The musical structure of the song is created based on the melody of a guitar as a ballad. It was used as a soundtrack of the 2002 romantic drama A Walk to Remember, in which she starred alongside Shane West.

Song information

The song tells the story of a girl who thought her lover to be insensitive, until the day she first saw him cry. "You were all by yourself, staring up at the dark gray sky, I was changed..." It was not a major hit in the U.S. until the release of Moore's film A Walk to Remember but was an MTV favorite and did well overseas. Because the song was set to be released around the same time as the film and the two were remarkably similar in story line, Moore felt that "Cry" would be perfect to be included in the film's soundtrack. The song is one of Moore's favorites on the album.
Moore stated in a Billboard interview that she carried around a copy of the song for over a year before she recorded it. "It felt like my ace in the hole. It's such a beautiful song on every level. I couldn't wait to get into the studio and sing it." She added that James Renald, the writer and producer of the song, had to "peel her out of the booth because she wanted to sing it over and over again."

Music video

The music video was directed by Chris Applebaum and released in 2002. The main premise of the video was centered around the conclusion of the movie A Walk to Remember. The home video was the summer that Moore and West's characters spent together before she died. It showed Moore in Heaven and Shane West looking through a telescope at her. The movie featured the couple stargazing and Moore's character Jamie Sullivan believed that when she would look through a telescope at the stars she can see into Heaven. Landon Carter (West's character) looks through the telescope and can see a now passed Jamie in Heaven. As the video comes to a climax, there is an explosion and stars shoot from behind Moore. The video also shows West looking at random video clips of him and Moore. The video was not a huge success on MTV like her prior video "Crush". The music video is included on A Walk to Remember DVD as an extra content. It was also included as a multi-media track on the 2003 special expanded edition of the film's soundtrack. However, the song is not yet included in her Vevo channel.
