"Tears is the only brand-new song on Altar Songs 1998-2021, co-written and produced by Marlon Rabenreither of Gold Star. It is kind of a crooner-style ballad that disintegrates towards the end," describes Silvia Ryder who delivers an alluring, crooning performance. The artist also remarks that Tears is about "the slow death of a marriage."
The new single is paired to a highly stylized tape-saturated clip which matches the song's sweet emotionality, made of scenes of a day in a life of a father and daughter in Los Angeles.
