YOAKE 'Boys Don't Cry' Official Music Video

YOAKE’s 2023 track “Boys Don’t Cry” sings about the hazy feelings of unrequited love and the desperate wish for that love to come true.

It captures emotions everyone with a crush has felt: getting carried away by a tiny positive reaction and thinking, “This might actually work!”, or sinking into despair like life is over when there’s no response at all.

But what unites everyone with a one-sided love is the burning desire for their feelings to be fulfilled.

Let this song remind you to treasure the delicate stirrings of young love.
