"Even Heaven Cries" is a song by all-female German pop trio Monrose. It was written by Robbie Nevil, Jens Lumholt, Lauren Evans, Philip Denker, and Jonas Jeberg and recorded for the band's debut studio album, Temptation (2006), while production was overseen by Jeberg. Built upon a boom clap percussion and a strummed-harp sample, reminiscent of other Jeberg productions, the sentimental midtempo R&B ballad contains lyrics about personality and body-image issues as well as self-esteem and insecurity.
The song was released as the album's second single on 2 March 2007 in German-speaking Europe and reached the top ten in Germany and the top 20 in Austria and Switzerland. It also served as Monrose's competition song on Der deutsche Vorentscheid 2007 – Wer singt für Deutschland?, the German national final show of the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest 2007, where it eventually placed second with a total of 20 per cent of all 900,000 phone votes, eventually losting to singer Roger Ciceros "Frauen regier'n die Welt."
