Big Girls Don't Cry (Fergie song)
"Big Girls Don't Cry" (also known as "Big Girls Don't Cry (Personal)") is a song recorded by American singer Fergie for her debut studio album, ''The Dutchess'' (2006). It was written by Fergie and Toby Gad while the production was helmed by will.i.am. The song was released as the fourth single from the album on May 22, 2007. "Big Girls Don't Cry" deviates from the hip-hop and urban music of Fergie's previous singles and opts for a more simplistic pop sound that incorporates acoustic and classical elements. It features credits from about thirty instrumentalists, many of which play the violins, violas and celli on the track. It is one of the few songs on the album that does not sample any other songs. The critical reception of "Big Girls Don't Cry" was positive, with many praising the maturity and simplicity displayed on the single as well as the message. Lyrically, the song talks about moving on from the pain of divorce.
"Big Girls Don't Cry" was a commercial success domestically, attaining the top position on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It became her third single to do so and earned her the accolade of being the first female artist with three number one singles from one album since 2000 with Christina Aguilera's first three number one singles. "Big Girls Don't Cry" also became Fergie's highest selling single in the country with 3,833,000 units sold as of August 2012, and her longest charting with nearly fifty weeks logged on the Hot 100 between May 2007 and March 2008. The song peaked at number one in Canada and was present for fifty-three weeks on the chart. The song also reached number one in various international territories including Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Australia, where it spent nine weeks at the top position. Besides France and Hungary, "Big Girls Don't Cry" reached the top ten in all other international markets like the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It was used in an episode of ''Pretty Little Liars'', "Father Knows Best". It was also performed on the 2012 ''Glee'' episode "Prom-asaurus" by Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer), and Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss).
The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Anthony Mandler and released in May 2007. It consists over Fergie and her love interest, portrayed by actor Milo Ventimiglia, in scenes documenting their turbulent relationship that ultimately ends with Fergie packing up her belongings and driving away in her car. The music video featured Fergie in apparel designed by Candie's and was used by the brand to promote their clothing line.
