"Cry" sits on Superstition, the tenth Siouxsie and the Banshees album, released by Polydor in June 1991. The band wrote the songs at a residential studio in Wales, then took them to RAK Studios in London to record with Stephen Hague, who produced this one with Mike "Spike" Drake engineering and Nigel Godrich, Abdul Kroz-Dressah and Will O'Sullivan assisting.
Hague's methods divided the band. He leaned on computer-based production, and Siouxsie later said the sessions left her with a firm case against computers, while Steven Severin liked the way Hague kept honing a song, again and again, until it was great. The album's lead single, "Kiss Them for Me", became their first American Top 40 hit.
