Don't Wanna Cry

About this song

"Don't Wanna Cry" was released on May 22, 2017, as the lead single from Seventeen's EP Al1. It was a major departure from the group's earlier lighthearted, upbeat love songs, blending EDM and electropop with less hip hop influence. The music video, filmed in various locations across Los Angeles, followed the group expressing regret at the end of a relationship. The song was praised by critics as a more mature sound for the group and won Best Dance Performance for a male group at the 2017 Mnet Asian Music Awards. It also drew plagiarism criticism over its similarity to "Something Just Like This", and Seventeen gave Coldplay and the Chainsmokers copyright credit, though the label maintains the song was independently created.
