"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 England, where the song peaked at #7 on both sides of the Atlantic. It reached #3 in Canada, and it was a #1 hit on the U.S. adult contemporary chart. The song is a moving ballad, unlike many of Astley's other more dance-oriented hit singles. It was 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 England.
