Who's Crying Now is a song by American rock band Journey. It was written by Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry. It was released in 1981 as the second single from Escape and became the album's second most successful single, reaching #4 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.

The song is highlighted by Steve Perry's smooth, soulful lyrics, piano playing by Jonathan Cain which interludes with a bass riff by Ross Valory, and acoustic guitars. There are no electric guitars until the end of the song, when Neal Schon plays a repeating guitar solo. Additionally, drum playing by Steve Smith is only found in the choruses and towards the end of the song.
