The third single from Katy B's Little Red album is a big electronic ballad, where she croons about trying in vain to get over the ending of a relationship. The singer told Q magazine that she found it was an emotional experience laying the break up anthem down in the studio. "When we recorded that vocal, halfway through I started crying. I ran out the room," she recalled. "Five minutes later I came back and asked, 'Did you get that?'"
The song was debuted acoustically on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 'In Session' slot in October 2013 and was released on iTunes in January 2014.
This was inspired by a friend's experience of heartbreak. Katy told The Sun: "'Crying For No Reason' came from conversation I had with my friend. She had a mini breakdown. She was so upset and had burst into tears at traffic lights as she was driving." "She didn't know why, then realised it was because of a break-up with her boyfriend, which happened six months earlier," continued Katy. "She had swept all of her emotions under the carpet and had bottled it all up."
