"Tears" is the second single by British singer and songwriter Perrie. It was released on 21 June 2024 through Columbia Records.[1]

Background and release[edit]

After the release of her debut single "Forget About Us", Perrie teased her new song through a 'No Tears Hotline', where a voicemail could be heard playing a snippet of the track. Having already hinted at the song's title across her and her team's socials, she released playlists of its reference points and called on her team to describe its sound. On 7 June 2024, she revealed its artwork and release date and the song was released on 21 June 2024. [2]

Composition and lyrics[edit]

Prior to its release date Carl Smith from Official Charts, described Tears as "a smooth, '80s-tinged break-up anthem, that sees "Perrie break new ground sonically as she sends some strong parting words to an ex". The song was given to her during a writing session in Los Angeles, by the head of Columbia Records. It was written by Feli Ferraro and produced by Ido Zmishlany.[3]

Promotion and live performances[edit]

On 16 June 2024, "Tears" received its first performance at Capital FM's Summertime Ball.[4][5]
