"Cry for Help" is the title of the first single taken from British dance-pop singer Rick Astley's third studio album, "Free".

Released as a single in 1991, "Cry for Help" reached the Top 10 on both the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 chart as well as the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom, where the song peaked at #7 on both sides of the Atlantic. [ [http://www.chartstats.com/songinfo.php?id=18496 UK Singles Chart info from chartstats.com] ] [Whitburn, Joel (1996). "The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits", 6th Edition (Billboard Publications)] It reached #3 in Canada, and it was a #1 hit on the U.S. adult contemporary chart. [Hyatt, Wesley (1999). "The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits" (Billboard Publications)]

The song is a moving ballad, unlike many of Astley's other more dance-oriented hit singles ("Never Gonna Give You Up"). It was co-written by British singer-songwriter Rob Fisher, formerly one half of the 1980s pop group Naked Eyes. To date, the song was Astley's last appearance in the Top 10 in either the U.S. or U.K.
