Despite its long-lasting success and cultural impact, "Boys Don't Cry" never topped the Billboard charts. According to Far Out magazine, the 1986 re-recording of "Boys Don't Cry" eventually secured the number 22 spot on the UK Singles Chart.
"We had heard bands like Buzzcocks and loved the fact that they were writing songs that were punky but were also, like, you know, great pop songs. And pop songs weren't a bad word to us," said the musician, now 64.
"We had rehearsed either the night before or that afternoon. And Robert had presented us with what became the basis for 'Boys Don't Cry,'" said Tolhurst.
"It had something. It had a different feeling, and it was powerful. It was a pop song, but it was a powerful pop song," said Tolhurst in the 2023 interview.
"We thought, 'Okay, that's good. That's a good direction to go in. That's something positive.' It wasn't our first single that came out for us. But it was indicative of what we could do, write something that's plaintive but catchy. That was a good sign for us," said the musician.
