Interesting facts and trivia about So You Can Cry. By Songfacts®.

This guitar-laden ballad, about a difficult break-up, was written by Ne-Yo after a female friend called to ask him to console her following a break-up that made her lock herself in her apartment for two weeks. Ne-Yo intended to not only console his friend with this song, but to cheer her up as well. He explained: "I'm calling on God to tell Him to shine the sun the other way so she can cry all day long."
