Background and composition


"Crybaby" is a "slinky soul-funk"[1] and disco[2][3] track. The song was written by Paloma Faith, Lindy Robbins, Cleo Tighe and Fin Dow-Smith,[7] with the latter handling production.[8] The song talks about toxic masculinity, with Paloma describing the song's lyrics as "a conversation between a man and I (sic), and the song questions whether global conflicts would cease to exist if men successfully dealt with their feelings. Would things be resolved without attack and with measured discussion?"[1][9]
