"Crybaby" is a song performed by English recording artist Paloma Faith. The song was released as a digital download on 31 August 2017 as the lead single from her fourth studio album The Architect (2017). The song peaked at number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.
"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,[4] with the latter handling production.[5] 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][6]
