"Cry About It!" is a song by American singers Kali Uchis and Ravyn Lenae. It was released on September 11, 2025, by Capitol Records as a single from Uchis' fifth studio album Sincerely (2025).
Background and recording
"Cry About It!" was released on September 11, 2025, as part of the promotional rollout for Sincerely: P.S., the deluxe edition of Uchis' album Sincerely.[1]
The song marks a collaboration between Uchis and Ravyn Lenae, blending Uchis' Latin-inflected R&B style with Lenae's vocals.[2]
It serves as a bonus track ahead of the deluxe edition's release, which is scheduled for September 26, 2025.[1]
Musically, "Cry About It!" opens with a light, somewhat festive march feel, evolving into a waltz-like section. Uchis alternates between English and Spanish, and the track has been described as having vintage R&B and doo-wop influences.[1]
Uchis and Lenae performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[1]
Critical reception
Robin Murray of Clash praised the song and wrote, "Two supreme R&B queens, each has their own identity – somehow, "Cry About It!" brings them together perfectly, an exhibition of femme energy."[3] Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop wrote, "On "Cry About It!" you are getting some doo-wop like production in tandem with melodic R&B. Lenae's whispery voice sounds excellent next to Kali's similarly soft delivery. Overall, we could see them flourishing during the 50s and 60s in all honesty."[4]
