Release and composition


On April 29, 2018, Marshmello announced the song on social media with a short snippet.[1] Arthur previously wrote in a tweet about how excited he was to be recording vocals for the track.[2] "You Can Cry" is a hip hop ballad that features "a slow, sentimental beat" and a falsetto chorus performed by Arthur.[3][4] Lyrically, the song is about having a partner who shows love and care. Juicy J also interpolates "Big Fish" by Vince Staples in the song.[5][6]


Critical reception


Peter A. Berry of XXL wrote of the song: "With this eclectic blend of artists comes a unique sound, and we mean that in the best way imaginable." He opined that "Juicy's flow rings through loud and clear, even as Arthur's smooth vocals melt into the energetic instrumental", capturing both of the artists' dynamic talents.[7] Your EDM's Matthew Meadow noted the song's lack of a drop and "the Marshmello sound", whilst praising Arthur's falsetto chorus and Juicy J's smooth and reserved style.[8]
