What it is
"Big Girls Cry" is a ballad by Sia, co-written with Chris Braide, from her 2014 album 1000 Forms of Fear and released as a single that year. The song is about emotional vulnerability and pushes back on the idea that tough women never cry, portraying a hard-edged woman who has kept her feelings bottled up and finally breaks down.
