Cry (Just a Little)
"Cry (Just a Little)" is a song by Dutch dance duo Bingo Players. The song's only lyrics are the repetition of "I know I'm caught up in the middle; I cry just a little when I think of letting go. Oh no, gave up on the riddle; I cry just a little when I think of letting go", originally from "Piano in the Dark", a 1988 hit song by Brenda Russell.[1] For this song, the line was performed by Kelli-Leigh (vocals) along with Hal Ritson (back vocals).

Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "Cry (Just a Little)" was first released onto YouTube on 14 June 2011 onto Spinnin' TV, with a length of 3:26. The official video features Svenja van Beek, who was a singer in the Dutch girl band Djumbo.[2] The video was shot in Marseille, France.
By unknown reasons, the music video was removed from the Spinnin' Records YouTube account in 2015-2016 only for America; meanwhile in Europe the video had remained available. At the start of 2017, Spinnin' put the video back on the YouTube platform, despite some complaints and denunciations.
