Background [ edit ]
Tyler described the song saying "It was country – we just Aerosmith’d it.”[2]
Critical reception [ edit ]
Alan Jones from Music Week Get A Grip album. He also declared it as "anthemic and compelling. Expect a brief but glittering chart life."[3] Music Week editor, Andy Martin, also gave it three out of five, adding that "it is hard to see the single having any more than a brief but glittering run."[4]
Music video [ edit ]
A screenshot of Alicia Silverstone 's character getting a navel piercing in the music video for "Cryin'".
The accompanying music video for "Cryin'", directed by American director Marty Callner , features the first of three successive appearances by Alicia Silverstone in the band's videos, the next two being "Amazing " (1993) and "Crazy " (1994).[2] Central Congregational Church in Fall River, Massachusetts . The video flashes back and forth between the band and Silverstone, who plays a teen who has a falling out with her boyfriend (played by Stephen Dorff ) after catching him cheating. She feigns an attempt to kiss him, but instead leans away, annoying him. She then punches him and shoves him out of the car, leaving him in the dust. She begins a phase of rebellion and individuality and gets a navel piercing , which has largely been credited as introducing navel piercing to mainstream culture.[5] Josh Holloway of Lost overpass , contemplating jumping. Her ex-boyfriend arrives on the scene, along with numerous police officers, encouraging her to come down from the bridge. She jumps, but a bungee rope is revealed, arresting her fall and leaving her dangling over the freeway, laughing at Dorff's character. The video ends with the dangling Silverstone looking up and giving Dorff the finger .
The video was a success on MTV , becoming the most requested video in 1993[6] Video Music Awards .[7]
