We can probably sit here and bring you Mary J. Blige videos every day for the rest of the month for our 29 Days of Love & Heartbreak, just based on the content she has in her catalog. Luckily we have other picks, but we’re taking it straight to Mary for the first heartbreak video of our February series.
“Not Gon’ Cry” appeared on her album Share My World as well as the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack and it’s them anthem for women who have had enough of their man’s cheating ways, but are too proud to cry over that fool. You know, the ones who have the toughness to power through the loss without shedding a single tear. It might take women years to get to this level of inner strength, but once there, it’s like you achieved elite level of heartbreak status.
The song peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 2 back in 1996 and it should be no surprise, considering who penned the smash record: Babyface.
