The single will appear on the musician’s upcoming studio album Girl Violence, out Sept. 12
King Princess is on a mission to make her enemies bawl their eyes out. Her latest single, “Cry Cry Cry,” puts a former friend on the chopping block in the face of betrayal. The record, she says, “is about a friendship with a lady that did not work out,” noting that “sometimes two divas create an explosion.”
“Fuck this, I tried to be kind/But It pulled your trigger/And you’re pissed but I’m feeling fine/And I’m always gonna be too tough for you/You’re always gonna make things hard,” King Princess sings. “And they’re always gonna just kiss up to you/It’s never gonna get you far/So go figure/You’re gonna cry cry cry when you hear this.”
“Cry Cry Cry” follows “RIP KP” as the latest preview of Girl Violence, the third studio album from King Princess out Sept. 12. It marks her first full-length LP since 2022’s Hold on Baby.
“Girl violence is very sneaky. It’s not physical, it’s deeply emotional, spiritual, and spooky,” she shared in a statement last month. “Women are both amazing and sinister — including myself — and it’s my curiosity to understand all the love, loss, and changes that come out of my love for women. Why are we so inclined to cause and receive chaos? If you’ve experienced even an iota of it, then you’ll have a story to tell. And these are mine.”
King Princess described the album as “a celebration of the craziness of femininity, in awe and admiration of the derangement,” not unlike how she felt when she made the move from Los Angeles to Brooklyn. “I was not loving life, I didn’t feel grounded at all. I realized my feet were dangling for years,” she said. “Once I was back in the arms of the city I love, I started to feel easier and lighter about hard decisions that were actually in my best interest.”
