"Do I Have to Cry for You" is a song by American singer Nick Carter, released as the second single from his debut solo album Now or Never (2002). The track is a rock-edged ballad that addresses emotional vulnerability in the context of a deteriorating relationship and has been noted by critics for its Bryan Adams–influenced sound, distinguishing it from Carter's work with the Backstreet Boys.
The accompanying music video was directed by Matthew Rolston, and the song reached number 20 on the Spanish singles chart.
According to the singer, the song presents the perspective of a man facing the deterioration of a relationship, addressing the expression of emotions and emotional vulnerability. Also, the lyrics depict situations in which relationships go wrong and the protagonist reaches an emotional limit, where crying becomes a possible response to what has been experienced.[1]
The music video for the single was filmed in Los Angeles in early November 2002 and was directed by Matthew Rolston, a fashion photographer and director.[1] The song was included in the promotional tour for Now or Never, during a Mexico show it was performed as part of a medley with Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You".[2]
