"Cry for You" (Cry For You (You'll Never See Me Again) released by Hard2Beat)[2] is the title of a number-one Billboard Hot Dance Airplay single by Swedish singer September. The dance pop track spent three weeks at the top spot in May 2007.[3] In the United States, it is the second single from September's album September, succeeding "Satellites" (a #8 hit on the Dance Airplay chart), while overseas it is her fifth single release from her second studio album In Orbit, following "It Doesn't Matter". It is also a single from various compilation albums released in Europe.

The single was a huge success in Sweden as well as the rest of Europe, and can be considered her biggest hit as of yet, together with "Satellites". In her homeland of Sweden, "Cry for You" peaked at the #6 position on the Swedish Top 60 Singles Chart for two weeks in a row. It remained on the singles chart in Sweden for 17 non-consecutive weeks. It stands as the 936th best song of all time in Sweden.[4] In the UK it stands as the biggest selling number five hit of 2008.

As of November 2010, Cry For You has sold over 500,000 in the United States certifying it a Gold record after four years. She is the first Swedish singer to receive a Gold certification in the United States since Ace Of Base's 1998 hit, Cruel Summer.

Music video

Two music videos were released for the single. The international version featured September in a futuristic city, where there are several Septembers, in a controlled prison-like place. Throughout the video it also features September alone dancing and singing to the song. On the bridge, it features September running away from the inprisoned Septembers and she runs, where the guards try to capture her, but at the end, it shows September escaping.[5]

The original video was a promotional video featuring September in a photoshoot, as it features on several covers of the singles CD cover formats. This version uses the original radio edit, while the UK video uses the UK mix of the song.[6]

Chart performance

On the issue date of 30 August 2008 the song debuted at number ninety-four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 after spending 8 weeks on the Bubbling Under chart. The next week it moved to number ninety-two. In its third week it moved eight places to number eighty-four. The song made its highest peak on the Hot 100 at number seventy-four, and on the Pop 100 at number twenty-nine. It spent a total of 10 weeks on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. "Cry for You" also made it onto other popular countdowns in the U.S. after its re-release in 2008; entering at number thirty-nine on American Top 40, and number twenty on the TRL Weekend Countdown radio show.

In the UK and Ireland, "Cry for You" was released in April 2008 on the Hard2Beat Records label, a subsidiary of Ministry of Sound, in a new remix with a new video. The remixed version entered the UK Singles Chart at number nine, and later climbed to number five, following release of a physical single for the song. On 28 December 2008, the UK Singles Chart had this as number thirty-five for the top songs of 2008. The track is often named "September's debut UK Single", however this is untrue as "Satellites" was released a few years previous to this on the label All Around The World. Therefore, "Cry For You" is her 2nd UK single.

In France, "Cry for You" topped the airplay chart and debuted at number six on the singles chart. The song debuted in Switzerland at number thirteen, next week it moved at number seven on downloads alone. It debuted at number sixteen in Germany and peaked at number eleven. In the Netherlands the song was a huge success too, peaking at number four and staying in the top forty for twenty-one weeks. In Europe the song peaked at number fifteen on the European Hot 100 Singles.

In Australia, the original single version was released to radio, rather than the shorter UK remix (although the UK remix has been played several times on Australian radio). The song debuted at number nineteen on 10 August 2008 and peaked at number fourteen. In New Zealand airplay and official charts, the song debuted at number number thirty-nine on the issue date of 22 September 2008.

"Cry for You" was certified gold for shipment of over 500,000 copies by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2010. The song is the first by a Swedish artist to be certified by the RIAA since Ace of Base's Cruel Summer in 1998.
