I Don't Wanna Cry

1991 90s Pop R&B

Written by Mariah Carey and Narada Michael Walden for her debut album, "I Don't Wanna Cry" was released in March 1991 and became Carey's fourth consecutive number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, making her the second act to have their first four entries reach number one. The music video, directed by Larry Jordan, shows Carey and a male model brooding over their tainted relationship, with Columbia removing scenes they felt projected a sexualized image of Carey from the director's cut.
