Don't Cry for Me


"Don't Cry for Me" is a song recorded by British singer Lisa Stansfield for her 1997 eponymous album. It was written by Stansfield, Ian Devaney, Cory Rooney and Mark Morales. Originally, the track was produced by Devaney, Rooney and Morales, and further production was handled by Peter Mokran and Devaney.
Cory Rooney co-wrote and co-produced many of Jennifer Lopez's hits, including "If You Had My Love." "Don't Cry for Me" received positive reviews from music critics. Arista Records created CD singles and a music video directed by Ben Unwin, and set the European release date for 17 November 1997. However, the single was withdrawn at the last minute. It included two previously unreleased tracks: "You Get Me" and "Breathtaking." These songs were later featured as bonus tracks on the 2003 remastered editions of Stansfield's albums: "You Get Me" on Face Up and "Breathtaking" on Lisa Stansfield. Both songs were also included on the 2014 deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of Lisa Stansfield.

Critical reception

Press of Atlantic City said in their review of Lisa Stansfield, that she "shines on the "sultry ballad".
