Kali Uchis Drops Ravyn Lenae Collab ‘Cry About It,’ Deluxe Album Coming

In the midst of her The Sincerely, Tour, Kali Uchis dropped off a gift for fans, as she teamed up for her first collaboration with Billboard 2025 R&B Rookie of the Year, Ravyn Lenae.

“Cry About It!” hit streaming services on Thursday (Sept. 11). Uchis sets the tone, delivering a soothing bilingual croon, jumping between Spanish and English. “Too bad (Too bad), so sad (So sad)/ You should cry about it (Oh-oh)/ Llora, llora, hasta que ya te deje de doler,” she sings.

Lenae takes the baton and provides the alternate perspective in a relationship, which appears to find her as a possible homewrecker who’s messing with the same guy as Uchis. “Creeping under the surface, I know I make you nervous/ Tell me what is the purpose if it’s out of my control,” she asks.

Spencer Stewart serves up doo-wop-inspired production for the empowering ballad, reconnecting with Lenae following their top five Billboard Hot 100 hit “Love Me Not.”

“I wrote this song to celebrate the fact that I’m gonna keep getting better/hotter/more abundant etc & nobody can stop me MUAHAHAHAH,” Uchis wrote to IG on Thursday (Sept. 11). “no but for real I hope everybody keeps living & striving for their best lives & anyone bothered can Go cry about it coz why r u bothered by a life that isn’t yours.”

The Colombian-American singer is gearing up for an even busier September, which will include the release of her Sincerely: P.S. deluxe on Sept. 26. “Cry About It!” is the first offering from the expanded edition.

Following a series of social teasers, Uchis debuted “Cry About It!” during one of her L.A. shows in August. Lenae and Kali Uchis served up the live television debut of the tender single with a ballroom performance on The Tonight Show on Wednesday (Sept. 10).

Kali Uchis remains on the road for her arena tour, which comes to New York City on Thursday for a pair of shows at Madison Square Garden before heading to Boston.
