“Let Me Cry” is the second single from Laura Marano’s upcoming still unnamed EP expected to arrive in 2019, following the debut single “Me”. The song was originally called “Not Today” but was changed by Laura because there were so many songs with the same name and “Let Me Cry” felt as a more suitabl...
[Verse 1]
I know I'm being irrational
Right now a little bit flammable
So you'd better watch out (Watch out)
I know I'm dressing so casual
In my bed laying diagonal
'Cause I'm all alone now (Right now)
[Pre-Chorus]
In three words
My heart hurts
So why do I feel it in my whole body?
All over
It's the worst
Feeling down has just become a hobby
[Chorus]
I'll stand on my feet, but not today
I'll hit delete, throw it all away
I'll be so sweet right to your face
But when you leave, just let me cry, get it all out, baby
I'll be alright, just gotta play
Alanis all night and throughout the day
I'll pick myself up, but not today
Today I'm a mess, just let me cry, get it all out, baby
[Verse 2]
Boy, you're not even emotional
Out every night, uncontrollable
How do you do it? (How?)
Why do you post everything you do?
Is it 'cause you want me to know that you
You're doing better (Better than me)
[Pre-Chorus]
In three words
My heart hurts
So why do I feel it in my whole body?
All over
It's the worst
Feeling down has just become a hobby
[Chorus]
I'll stand on my feet, but not today
I'll hit delete, throw it all away
I'll be so sweet right to your face
But when you leave, just let me cry, get it all out, baby
I'll be alright, just gotta play
Alanis all night and throughout the day
I'll pick myself up, but not today
Today I'm a mess, just let me cry, get it all out, baby
[Bridge]
Get it all out, baby
Get it all out, baby
Just let me kick, let me scream
Just let me kick, let me scream in my pillow
Just let me get, catch you out (Let me get you out)
Just let me get, get you out of my system
[Chorus]
I'll stand on my feet, but not today
I'll hit delete, throw it all away
I'll be so sweet right to your face
But when you leave, just let me cry, get it all out, baby
I'll be alright, just gotta play
Alanis all night and throughout the day
I'll pick myself up, but not today
Today I'm a mess, just let me cry, get it all out, baby

Mitch Allan, Justin Gammella, and Madison Love were all my brilliant collaborators with this song (I never actually met Madison, but I feel like I know her after working on this). It all came together one day in November with Mitch and Justin, and afterwards, I knew this was one of the best songs I...
This song is about the overwhelming sadness you can feel after a breakup, but honestly, people can relate to this song even without a breakup. Let Me Cry is more about giving yourself permission to be an emotional mess over anything you’re going through in your life. It’s about letting yourself take...
It was a long process to be honest. It took a few months, as it first came together in the summer, and then I officially recorded it in November, but I didn’t hear it until March, because I was going through another kind of breakup with my record label at the time. I was actually filming a movie in...
