"Crying Underwater" is a song by Australian singer Dami Im, released on 13 September 2019.

The song marks the beginning of a new chapter in Im's career, as it was released independently.

"[1] Speaking to The Courier-Mail, Im said "It's a song I wrote about somebody I knew who seemed really happy and he took his own life."

In her autobiography Dreamer Im further explains, "We [Michael Tan and I] went into the studio for our session, we spoke about a friend and fellow musician who had recently died by suicide... our friend had seemed really happy, but he must have been struggling underneath.

In my conversation with Michael, we spoke about how hard it is for men to talk about their emotions and their challenges and that's how 'Crying Underwater' came to life.
