rdf:langString "We Cry Together" is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar and American actress Taylour Paige, taken from the former's fifth studio album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, released on May 13, 2022. The eighth track on the album, Lamar wrote the song alongside the Alchemist, Bekon, and J.Lbs. Florence Welch and Gary Peacock received additional songwriting credits for the sampling of their respective songs "June" and "Valentine". A jazz rap and spoken word song, "We Cry Together" portrays Lamar and Paige as an emotionally abusive couple in the midst of a heated argument that ultimately ends with sexual reconciliation. Media outlets have pointed out that the song's concept shares similarities with Eminem's 2000 song "Kim" (Though it is not inspired by this song because it is simply a domestic argument and it happens everyday), which sees the fellow rapper engaged in a violent argument with his then-wife. The song was met with critical acclaim, many of whom chose it as a standout from Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers for its "harrowing" intensity and realistic depictions of domestic violence. Following the release of its parent album, "We Cry Together" debuted at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. A short film based on the song was released worldwide on September 1, 2022.
