Background
"No Tears Left to Cry" is a song by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande. It was released on April 20, 2018, by Republic Records as the lead single from her fourth studio album, Sweetener (2018). The song was written by Grande and Savan Kotecha with its producers Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh. An uptempo dance-pop, disco, power pop, and dance-R&B song driven by a UK garage beat, its lyrics reflect on Grande's efforts to move on following the Manchester Arena bombing, a terrorist attack on her concert the previous year, "celebrating rising above the world's negativity" with a "nearly spoken-word" vocalization.
