About Cry for Me

"Cry for Me" is a song by Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello, released as the third single from her second studio album Romance on October 4, 2019, by Epic Records and Syco Music. It follows the release of the songs "Liar" and "Shameless", the lead singles from the album. In her announcement of the song, Cabello called the song one of her "favorites" and explained that it was written about "when your ex moves on faster than you and of course you want them to be happy but just..... not so fast". 2 days later Cabello explained the track further more, saying "I wrote a song back when I was 16 called I’m Pissed Off You’re Happy, about a situation where someone and I broke up and sooner than I expected, they moved on, they were having fun and happy and dating and I was just like.... what the hell, that didn’t take very long. I took that idea and put it into this song, the feeling nobody likes to admit about feeling wild with jealousy". It was written by Camila Cabello, Ryan Tedder, Adam Feeney, Fahad Alhaj and Louis Bell. The song runs for three minutes and nine seconds.
