"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. 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 the Philippines.
"Cry" received positive reviews from music critics, was one of the issues most adored by MTV. 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 movie A Walk to Remember, in which she starred alongside Shane West.
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 US 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.
