The music video for the song, directed by Dave Meyers, was released overnight Friday, with the song itself available on steaming.

The visuals start dark and brighten, similar to the song itself, which is about picking yourself up after a hard time.

"Ain't got no tears left to cry (so don't cry)/ So I'm pickin' it up, I'm pickin' up (oh yeah)/ I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up," chorus lyrics say.

Watch the music video for “No Tears Left to Cry” below. The song is the lead single from her upcoming, currently untitled fourth studio album.

BuzzFeed reported that the end of the video includes a nod to Manchester, with an animated bee buzzing across the screen in the last shot. The worker bee has been symbol of Manchester since the Victorian era and represents the work ethic of those in the city.
