"She's Not Cryin' Anymore" is a mid-tempo, backed by piano and steel-string acoustic guitar. In it, the male narrator explains that his lover is "not cryin' anymore", now that she has left him for another man. He also expresses his regret for having ignored her when she needed to be loved.

In April 1993, Georgia based songwriter Danny Mote filed a lawsuit against Cyrus and the writers of "She's Not Cryin' Anymore", claiming that the song infringed the copyright of Mote's own 1973 composition "Crying Eyes".[2] Cyrus and Mote settled the case in 1995.[3]
