RAEGAN doesn’t treat heartbreak as a quiet collapse. On CRYING IS A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND, she gives it sweeping vocals, theatrical drama and enough glitter to turn emotional fallout into an act of self-devotion.
The single sits at the centre of her upcoming RAEGAN CORE EP — a world built for outsiders, theatre kids, and anyone who has ever been told to make themselves smaller.
Musical-theatre scale meets intimate pop writing, with vulnerability becoming part of the spectacle rather than something hidden behind it.
In this FM PRO Quickfire 5, RAEGAN discusses her Princess Jasmine-inspired vision, building a safe community through music and using production to set the stage without losing the honesty underneath.
To me, the lyrics create intimacy while the production sets the stage.
