Video
The earliest version of "She Cries Your Name" appeared on Orton's 1993 debut album Superpinkymandy. Another early version of "She Cries Your Name" appears on William Orbit's 1995 album Strange Cargo Hinterland. The Strange Cargo Hinterland version removed Orton's verses from the Superpinkymandy version, but retains her chorus vocals and the original instrumentation. The third and best-known version of the track appeared on Orton's second album, Trailer Park. This version includes all of the lyrics from the Superpinkymandy version, but with different production.[3]
"She Cries Your Name" was the lead single for Trailer Park, released in September 1996.[4] The single was re-released in June 1997 with a different set of B-sides. The initial release peaked at #76, and the re-release at #40 in the UK official singles chart.
The video for "She Cries Your Name" was filmed at a trailer park in the Mojave Desert, which inspired the title of Orton's album Trailer Park.[5] MTV placed the video into active rotation on September 16, 1997.[6]
