Godsmack led with "Cryin' Like a Bitch!!" when it came time to launch The Oracle in 2010, and Sully Erna has called it one of the toughest things on the record: a hard riff, drums that hit aggressive and tight, a groove with an edge. The words matched the music so well, he said, that the chorus needed a gang of voices behind it. It's alternative metal with its fists up.
As for the target, HardDrive Radio read the lyric as a shot at an old bandmate who had once kicked Erna out of a band. Erna himself said it grew out of what went on during the previous summer's Crüe Fest 2 tour, where Godsmack played alongside headliners Mötley Crüe, as well as out of his history with that old band.
