"Love Will Leave You Crying" is a Genesi/Nagatoian pop song written by the duo SONIA in 2019 for Yuki Labels. The song became SONIA’s first number-one hit on the Nagcon chart and won the Nagcon Song of the Year for 2019.
History
SONIA’s original
The song was written by Sonia Dawn and Rosa May as the first song written by both of them. Dawn wanted a song to have a story behind it. In an interview with Dawn and May, Dawn said, “The plot behind the story is more of a warning: Be careful of that woman who you want to fall in love with; she is dangerous. The lyrics tell of someone warning his or her friend that looks are deceiving! The woman you want to fall in love with will only break your heart in the end. Isn’t this a vicious warning?
"Love Will Leave You Crying" became the number one hit in 2019. According to record producers, May was a little nervous and intimidated during the recording sessions because she had to do the rapping part in Codexian as well as singing the verses and chorus in Genesi. Dawn felt right at home singing in Genesi and helped May sing her part in Genesi. The duo also made an all Codexian version of the song and was released in the Wonderland album.
"Love Will Leave You Crying" was the first song made by SONIA, but Dawn and May made their own solo songs before joining together (Dawn’s "Take Off" and May’s "I’ll Be There"). The song was inducted into the Nagcon Hall of Fame in 2020 and is regarded today as one of the most important single ever released by Yuki Labels.
