Who releases the song "No Tears Left to Cry" in 2018?

Ariana Grande released the 2018 song "No Tears Left to Cry." It became the lead single from her fourth studio album, Sweetener, and marked her first major musical release after the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing.

Grande co-wrote the song with Savan Kotecha, Max Martin, and Ilya Salmanzadeh. Although its lyrics acknowledge grief and negativity, the song is built around optimism, recovery, and choosing to keep living positively. Its production blends dance-pop, disco, power pop, and R&B, with a prominent UK garage-influenced beat.

Republic Records released the single on April 20, 2018. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts in 13 countries. The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, uses shifting perspectives and upside-down imagery to represent disorientation and the effort to regain balance. It is sometimes remembered simply as a breakup song, but its central context is Grande's response to trauma and resilience.
