On April 20, 2021, a potential collaboration between Perry and Luísa Sonza was hinted by the latter on Twitter, where she quoted the former's "I Kissed a Girl" title line. The remix of "Cry About It Later" was officially announced two days later featuring addition production from Bruno Martini and was set to be released on April 23, 2021. A lyric video for the remix was uploaded to Perry's YouTube channel on the same day and was directed by Jay Sprogell.
