Crying songs in Western music: The world's recommended tearjerker songs (81–90)
honestyBilly Joel
It’s a hidden gem by Billy Joel: poppy yet grand vocals that sweep music lovers of all genres into a whirl of emotion and tears.
His powerful, full-throttle voice moves you to cry whether you want to or not, and the fact that so many later artists have covered it shows just how outstanding the song is.
jojoBoz Scaggs
A hidden gem from the early days of fusion music.
Carried by an urban, moody vibe, the vocals—sung with heartfelt, wistful emotion—create a sacred atmosphere, making it a tearjerker where the message comes through straight on the groove.
EverytimeBritney Spears
Britney has quite a few intense tracks, but this one is a relaxed ballad.
It’s also a heartbreak song that expresses the complex feelings of loving someone who won’t look your way.
I think it’s one of those songs that reaffirms that Britney really does have vocal prowess.
It Will RainBruno Mars
A heartbreak song by Bruno Mars, a singer sometimes called the second coming of Michael Jackson.
As you listen, the lyrics can feel rather sappy and pathetic, yet many lines pierce the heart.
His masterful word choice and overwhelming vocal prowess are truly awe-inspiring.
Damn You For Breaking My HeartCaitlyn Smith
If you love grand, sweeping songs, I recommend “Damn You For Breaking My Heart.” The verses are relatively calm, but once the chorus hits, it bursts into a powerful, fast-paced, expansive melody.
The lyrics are quite dark and heavy, so have a handkerchief ready when you look them up.

HurtChristina Aguilera
This song makes you realize that it’s not easy to get back what you’ve lost.
What really mattered, what truly made you happy.
It conveys that unbearable, irreparable feeling of having hurt someone, and Christina’s powerful vocals resonate deep in your chest.
