"When a Good Man Cries" is a song by Irish singer-songwriter CMAT, released on August 28, 2025, as part of her third studio album Euro-Country. The song explores themes of reflection, remorse, and redemption, where the narrator confronts the pain caused to a partner who did not deserve it. It challenges traditional gender norms around emotional expression, depicting a woman grappling with the impact of her actions that made a "good man" cry. The lyrics blend cultural references, self-awareness, and emotional responsibility, making the song both introspective and profound. Musically, it incorporates country elements like fiddle, drums, and bass to enhance its reflective tone. The repeated question, "What do you do when a good man cries?" highlights the weight of hurting someone innocent and kind.

The song also references feminism by flipping the trope where men are expected not to show emotion, and the narrator shows vulnerability and remorse. The closing invocation of "Kyrie Eleison" (Lord have mercy) adds a spiritual layer, signaling a desire for forgiveness and change. The song has been praised for combining emotional honesty with clever songwriting and cultural commentary.
