"I Cry" is a song by American singer-songwriter Usher. It was released as a standalone single on June 26, 2020 by Brand Usher and RCA Records. Originally a demo, the murder of George Floyd inspired Usher to finish recording the song.^[1] Usher, a father to two sons, wanted to show men they could be emotional, especially during difficult times. Usher's proceeds from the record will be donated to The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), which will help black-owned small businesses and black-led community organizations.^[2]
