Sarina – Sometimes I Wanna Cry

The Tokyo-based Alternative-Pop Sony Japan Artist, Sarina, returns with a new song, she hopes, will be a new generation pop/punk emo anthem. The half Japanese half Lebanese singer/songwriter continues to mesmerize the audience with her music, sound, and visual aesthetic. ‘Sometimes I Wanna Cry :(‘ took the internet by storm when Sarina posted a clip to Instagram that quickly went viral, garnering over 1.7 million views and organically growing her account from 13.6k followers to over 160k.

Sarina elaborates: “Sometimes I Wanna Cry :(’ is a song I originally wrote to vent my frustration. I was having a rough day and felt like I could use a good cry, but I just couldn’t get the tears to come. I ended up writing this song as a sort of cathartic release! Initially, I only wrote the chorus and posted it to Instagram on a whim. Lo and behold, a few days later, the video was skyrocketing in views, and everyone suddenly wanted the song released. People found the music relatable and benefited from it the same way I did. The song quickly reached over a million views, and I knew I had to finish it and release it. As I wrote the song, it grew from a simple cathartic release to be about the way I question my emotions. How everything online is a constant barrage of bad news or reminders that we aren’t enough. Is it really a wonder that so much of this generation struggles with confidence and mental health issues? I’m hoping this song can bind together those who relate. Sometimes we all just want to cry, but at least we can cry together.”
