Sometimes, you just need a good venting out to feel great again. This is what the song wants to remind us; that it is fine to cry out our feelings. This is quite difficult for men to do so because they are known to be less expressive of their feelings. This is a culture within men because, at an early age, they are taught that showing emotions is a sign of weakness. This is definitely not the case because it is actually a sign of being a coward.
You are afraid of what other people may think of you when you cry. The track “Tonight I Wanna Cry” is made to counter that notion. Releasing pent up emotions is healthy for us and we need to do it in situations where we feel anguish and sadness.
