Is from the Album Waking Up Laughing - the ninth album from country singer Martina McBride. It marks the first time in her career she has co-written songs and produced an album solo. This album produced three chart singles for McBride on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart: "Anyway" at #5, "How I Feel" at #15 and "For These Times" at #35.
The album sold 139,000 copies in its first week, debuting at number four on the Billboard 200. Following the album's release, McBride embarked on the Waking Up Laughing Tour on April 12, 2007.
As of November 2007, the album has sold over 500,000 copies in the United States and has been certified Gold.
"For These Times" was inspired by former Republican senator Rick Santorum, who was defeated in 2006, and his daughter. When his daughter began to cry at his loss, the cameras focused on her, inspiring Leslie Satcher to write the song. It was also inspired by her Pastor, who stated "For these times in which we live, you are going to need this book." referring to the Bible.
"Cry Cry ('Til the Sun Shines)" was covered by Heidi Newfield on her debut solo album, What Am I Waiting For.
