No Tears Left to Cry
"No Tears Left to Cry" (stylized in all lowercase or backwards and upside down) is a song by American singer, songwriter Ariana Grande, taken from her fourth studio album, Sweetener (2018). The song was written by Grande and Savan Kotecha with its producers Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh. The song serves as the lead single from Sweetener and was released for digital download and streaming worldwide on April 20, 2018, through Republic Records. An uptempo dance-pop song driven by a UK garage beat featuring disco and R&B elements, its lyrics reflect on Grande's efforts to move on following the attack on her concert the previous year, "celebrating rising above the world's negativity" with a "nearly spoken-word" vocalization.

The song received widespread acclaim from music critics, many of whom praised the song's positive message and optimistic composition. "No Tears Left to Cry" was nominated for various accolades, including an MTV Europe Music Award and an NRJ Music Award. In the US, "No Tears Left to Cry" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number three, further extending her record as being the only artist to debut in the top ten with the lead single from all of her studio albums. It became her third single to top the US Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart. Internationally, the song topped the charts in thirteen countries, including Australia, Ireland and Norway.
An accompanying music video directed by Dave Meyers premiered on YouTube that same day to critical acclaim. It explores a concept of disorientation in life, and the complexities and disillusionment of the world. It received four nominations at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year, later winning Best Pop Video.
Background
Following the Manchester Arena bombing during her Dangerous Woman Tour in May 2017, Ariana Grande became reluctant to record new music, preferring to spend time with her loved ones because of the emotional impact the tour had on her.[1] "No Tears Left to Cry" was the first song Grande wrote with Max Martin, Ilya and Savan Kotecha for Sweetener, after working with Pharrell Williams for most of the album.[2] She wanted her first single since the bombing to be hopeful and touch on the incident, but not dwell on it.[3] The song came about when Grande said, "I want it to be positive and talk about positivity and love. I don't have any tears left to cry."[2] Martin then sang the chorus melody.[3] They composed the music before writing the lyrics.[4]
Grande intended for "No Tears Left to Cry" to bridge a change in sound from her previous album Dangerous Woman (2016) by being more obscure and unexpected, inspired by her work with Williams, and thus suggested its verses and chorus to be in different keys.[5] Kotecha cited Lauryn Hill's' The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and En Vogue's "Don't Let Go (Love)" as inspiration for the track's chord changes.[3] Grande also wanted it to start as a ballad and then become uptempo like "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor.[2] Kotecha recalled, "It was important to her to start as a ballad and Max and Ilya started playing those chords and it just fit; it was magical. It all came together and had this flow."[3] However, a lot of time was spent working on the pre-chorus until Ilya found a fixed groove. According to Kotecha, they opted for simpler lyrics to make the song "digestible" and "easier to grasp" because of its already complex chord changes and melodic shifts.[3] The track was recorded at MXM and Wolf Cousins Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.[6] Grande said she hoped for it to bring light and comfort, and encourage listeners to dance and "live ya best life!"[7]
Composition
"No Tears Left to Cry" is a dance-pop, disco and dance-R&B song.[8][9][10][11] The song is in 4
4 time and is originally in the key of A minor, with a tempo of 122 beats per minute. The refrain is based on an Am–G–F–Am–G–F–C–Dm–Am–C chord progression, while the verses follow an A(add2)–F(add2)–G(add2) sequence. Grande's vocal range spans from G3 to G5.[12]
Lyrically, the song is about optimism; according to Rolling Stone, it "celebrates rising above the world's negativity".[13] Variety noted that the song's chorus contrastingly features Grande alternating between "lifting her voice, pleadingly, for positivity" with the lyrics "Oh, I just want you to come with me / We're on another mentality", and "rhythmically" chanting "I'm lovin', I’m livin', I'm pickin' it up" with a "nearly spoken-word" vocalization.[14]
"No Tears Left to Cry" is the only song from Sweetener to not feature an "explicit" tag on Spotify.[15]
Release
Variety initially reported on April 9, 2018, that the track would be released on April 27, 2018.[16] Grande began teasing social media on April 15, 2018, using teardrop emojis and the song's title written as "ʎɹɔ oʇ ʇɟǝl sɹɐǝʇ ou".[17] The title appeared on billboards across the US and featured on grey sweatshirts worn on social media by Grande, her half-brother Frankie and then-boyfriend Mac Miller.[18][19] A listening party in London was also held.[20] The song premiered worldwide at midnight ET on April 20, 2018, as the lead single from Grande's fourth studio album, Sweetener.[21][13][22] The grey sweatshirts were made available for purchase on Grande's website the following day, bundled with a digital copy of the track.[23] In the US, "No Tears Left to Cry" was sent to hot adult contemporary radio stations on April 23, 2018,[24] and to rhythmic contemporary and contemporary hit radio stations the next day.[25][26]
Critical reception
"No Tears Left to Cry" received universal acclaim from music critics upon its release.[27][28] Meaghan Garvey of Pitchfork said it is a musical progression for Grande and her vocals surpass those of her peers. According to Garvey, the song is "striking in its optimism: the soundtrack for the exact moment you decide to keep going."[11] Similarly, The Observer deemed it "a dazzling exercise in pop lightness, bringing optimism after last year's Manchester attack."[29] In The Guardian, Laura Snapes gave it four out of five stars, citing it as a "timeless sad song" and akin to Grande's One Love Manchester concert as "one of the most joyful, defiant celebrations of pop and the communities it inspires".[30] Joel Golby, also from The Guardian, found the song expansive and appropriate, complimenting Grande's high notes and unconventional adlibs.[31] Matt Mellis of Consequence of Sound noted Grande's skill in cadence change and a lasting relevancy through hope and resilience.[32]
In NME, Nick Reilly complimented the track's "hugely infectious" chorus,[33] while Hannah Mylrea regarded it as euphoria and concluded, "Tackling hate and devastation with hope and disco, 'No Tears Left to Cry' is a triumph."[34] Matthew Kent of The Line of Best Fit commented, "Ariana is picking it up while we're turning this up", and said she "certainly pulled it out of the bag".[35] Fact gave the track a score of 7.7 out of 10, describing it as "somber but triumphant and even though it includes cringy lyrics... it packs a punch."[36] In his review for Billboard, Andrew Unterberger wrote that the song is "a grower, not to be fully appreciated on first listen."[37] Writing for Variety, Chris Willman called it "the breeziest, most danceable kind of post-traumatic recovery anthem", but said "it's not likely to ever be inducted into the Max Martin Hall of Fame".[14] Spencer Kornhaber, in The Atlantic, called the song "one of the best pure pop singles in memory. ... Grande’s voice curls in surprising ways, from husky to flighty and back. Most glorious are the keyboards: The progressions verge on jazziness, with each chord stabbed out in a manner that evokes someone touching a hot surface. The lyrics describe being all cried out, but the arrangement clearly suggests a flood of tears on the dance floor."[38] In a May 2018 Time magazine cover article, Sam Lansky says of the song:
"Grande made a song about resilience because she has had to be resilient, in ways that are difficult to imagine, after a terrorist detonated a bomb outside her May 22, 2017, concert in Manchester, England, killing 22 people and leaving more than 500 injured. What happened is part of the song, but the song is not about what happened. Instead of being elegiac, it's joyful and lush".[39]
Stereogum ranked "No Tears Left to Cry" as the ninth best song of the 2010s, praising it as "glittering and triumphant, grand and unapologetic [...] The song exudes the magic of moving forward and marked a new era of Grande. She graduates from the glitzy trend-pop that dominated her earlier work, transforming her grief and recovery into a soaring dance ballad. It has all the elements of a first-rate Ariana Grande song — her iconic vocal range is stretched for all its worth, backed by a contagious shuffling beat — and adds a new strength to her resume: vulnerability."[40] NME ranked it as the best song of 2018 in their year-end poll,[41] and ranked it at number 28 on their "Best Songs of the Decade" list.[42] Time Out ranked "No Tears Left to Cry" as the 25th best pop song of all-time.[43] The Guardian and Rolling Stone both named it as Grande's second best song, behind "Into You".[44][45]

Music video
Development and release
The music video for "No Tears Left to Cry" was directed by Dave Meyers and produced by Nathan Scherrer.[94] It explores a concept of disorientation in life, and the complexities and disillusionment of the world.[95] "We sort of flirt with the ambiguity of whether you need to find the ground or whether the ground's just what you make of it," Meyers said.[96][97] Grande was filmed in front of screens to chroma key locations in post-production. Referencing dancer Fred Astaire, a revolving hallway was built to allow Grande to walk on ceilings and walls. Other stunts involved her harnessed to a rotating stairway and jumping through a chute.[98][99] Grande's face was covered in a green substance and bandaged for 30 minutes to create masks of her face.[100] The music video premiered on Vevo at midnight ET on April 20, 2018.[101][102] Three behind-the-scenes videos were released on April 23, April 27, and May 25, 2018, respectively.[95][100]
Synopsis
Grande wears six different outfits in the music video, including a voluminous green gown, satin minidress and Stuart Weitzman platform shoes.[103][104][105] She also eschews her signature high ponytail for styles such as a braided and low ponytail.[106] The video begins with an extended choral introduction and an evening bird's-eye view of a metropolis of skyscrapers sideways, overhead and underfoot.[14][107] Grande is first shown reclining on a window-lined hallway before walking on its walls and ceiling in an optical illusion.[14][103] She then falls through the floor into a wall with fairy lights, and is shown swinging from the banister of a fire escape overlooking the city.[106][108][109]
In another scene, the singer and a troupe of suited dancers perform with umbrellas from the sides of a skyscraper.[110] Grande then falls through the sky ahead of an interlude featuring a kaleidoscope of her face.[111][112] The next segment shows Grande seated on a ceiling removing her face like a mask while also surrounded by multiple versions of her face showing multiple expressions and singing.[106][112] In the last scene, Grande sits in a field at sunrise, playing fetch with her dog, Toulouse.[111] The video concludes with a worker bee flying off screen, one of the symbols of Manchester.[113]
Reception
The video received critical acclaim.[114] Emily Heward of the Manchester Evening News called it "a touching tribute" to Manchester, noting that its symbolic worker bee represents the city's resilience.[115] Similarly, MTV UK's Ross McNeilage said the video "perfectly encapsulates the dream-like euphoria of the song and is a beautiful, subtle tribute".[116] McNeilage deemed it "a truly stunning visual that is undoubtedly her best music video to date."[116] Charles Holmes of MTV likened it to visuals by M.C. Escher and praised the juxtaposition of moods, writing, "Instead of Ariana telling us her world was turned upside down the video shows us... The dark muted video feels like sadness, while Ariana's voice sounds like triumph."[117]
Chris Willman of Variety described the music video as "a combination of Inception and Fred Astaire's old dancing-on-the-ceiling movie musical routine".[14] Calin van Paris of Vogue called it "an Inception-style dreamworld", and regarded Grande's braided ponytail as "a surprising twist on a classic updo" and "a high-impact aesthetic".[118] In Billboard magazine, Abby Jones viewed the visual as a spectacle, finding it "dazzling and dizzying",[103] while Shanté Honeycutt deemed it "a beautiful, mind-bending video".[98] Spencer Kornhaber wrote in The Atlantic: The video ... is lush and transporting, aestheticizing the idea of one's feet searching for solid ground."[38]
As of April 2021, the video has received over 1 billion views on YouTube[94] and surpassed Grande's 2015 single "Focus" to become her most-viewed video in its first day and first week of release (15 and 51.7 million views, respectively), being later beaten by Grande's single "Thank U, Next" released the same year.[119] The music video won the Best Pop Video award at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards and was nominated for Video of the Year, Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects.[120]
Live performances
Grande first performed "No Tears Left to Cry" during Kygo's set at the second weekend of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 20, 2018.[121] On May 1, 2018, she gave her first televised performance of the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[122] She later performed the song on the same show on May 14, along with Fallon and The Roots, using Nintendo Labo and Nintendo Switch-based instruments.[123] Grande also opened the 2018 Billboard Music Awards on May 20 with a performance of the song.[124] She also performed the song, along with "Side to Side" and "Dangerous Woman", at YouTube Brandcast.[125] The song is also featured on the set list for her Sweetener World Tour.
