Ain't Gonna Cry Again
"Ain't Gonna Cry Again" is the debut solo single by English singer-songwriter Peter Cox, released in 1997 from his self-titled debut solo album. The song was written by Cox and Peter-John Vettese, and produced by Vettese. "Ain't Gonna Cry Again" reached number 37 on the UK Singles Chart and remained in the top 100 for two weeks. Background
In a 2015 interview with Verily Victoria Vocalises, Cox chose "Ain't Gonna Cry Again" as his "favourite song lyrically" out of all the songs he has written or co-written. He noted it was "very satisfying" that people, particularly women, "seem to identify with the theme of the song". Cox added of the song's success as a single, "It was played a lot on the radio and I got some decent support but it didn't transfer into sales." Critical reception
Upon its release as a single, Andrew Hirst of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner wrote, "The former Go West frontman uses his wonderful soul voice to great effect with a dynamic slice of dramatic soul pop. It's as though he's never been away." Track listing
