"Cry for You", released as "Cry for You (You'll Never See Me Again)" on Hard2Beat,^[1] is a song by Swedish singer Petra Marklund, performing as September, from her second studio album In Orbit (2005). It was released in Sweden on 29 November 2006 as the third and final single from the album. The single version was also included on her third studio album Dancing Shoes (2007) as a bonus track, and it was released as a single from her various compilation albums that were released in Europe. Musically, "Cry for You" is a dance-pop and euro-pop track, with it lyrically being about getting out of a relationship.

Commercially, "Cry for You" was considered September's biggest hit to date, along with her single "Satellites", peaking in the top ten in twelve countries, including Sweden, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, while also charting in nine different countries. In the United States, the song spent three weeks at the top spot of Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart in May 2007,^[2] and became September's first and only entry so far on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 74 in 2008. "Cry for You" was certified Gold by the RIAA in November 2010 for sales of over 500,000 copies, making September the first Swedish artist to receive a Gold certification in the United States since Ace of Base achieved it for their song "Cruel Summer" in 1999. In late 2018, the song regained popularity after the song was turned into a meme on Twitter, using its "you'll never see me again" lyrics.^[3]
