Due to the large number of searches and visits, some functions of QQ Music, one of the distribution platforms, were paralyzed. "QQ Music is collapsed" has also become one of the hot searches. It is not difficult to understand the "explosion" of "Say Good or Not Cry". Jay Chou is the most "national" singer in today's Chinese music scene. In recent years, Jay Chou has released new works at a slower pace than before. "Say Goodbye or Not Cry" is a somewhat "long-lost" work, since Jay Chou's last single " More than 400 days have passed since "If you don't love me, you'll pull me down", and his last album was released in 2016. In terms of production, "Say Good or Not Cry" continues the golden combination of Jay Chou's composition and Fang Wenshan's lyrics. Mayday's lead singer Ashin also sang in the chorus, which is the biggest surprise. In addition, the MV starring the new generation of Japanese actors Ayaka Miyoshi and Keisuke Watanabe is also full of topics. The plot of the movie "The Untold Secret" is implicit in it, which has evoked the memories of countless young people.

"Say Good Not to Cry" has a typical "Zhou Love Song" style. The piano is the main story line of the entire piece, and the strings weave a lyrical scene, creating an atmosphere like a love movie. The lyrics are unfolded from the perspective of the male protagonist, telling a story about "fulfilment" and "promise". Many netizens commented that "Say Good or Not Cry" is delicate and moving, and the eloquent narration has brought back the shadow of Jay Chou's past; Jay Chou, who has been in the industry for many years and has accompanied everyone's growth, is still the "person who understands youth best".

But this song did not receive unanimous praise. Since around 2010, except for a few songs such as "Confession Balloon" and "Waiting for You to End get out of class", Jay Chou's works have been questioned as "not what they used to be", and there are rarely any classics that have been sung for a long time like before. Many netizens believe that the melody of "Say Good or Not Cry" is a bit mediocre and lacks flavor. Fang Wenshan, who has always been considered to never miss a hit, has also been questioned about the lyrics he wrote this time. Although Fang Wenshan stated on Weibo that "the meaning of the lyrics tends to be a narrative and heart-centered style", many people still feel that the lyrics of "Say Good or Not Cry" It lost its sense of surprise and became a bit "saliva".

Music critic Sanshi Yiyi believes that, in general, "Say Good or Not Cry" is a work above the passing line. If the full score is 5 points, this song can get a 3.5 "The melody is pleasant and the arrangement is solid, but the momentum is not enough." Perhaps to everyone's ears, "Say Good or Not Cry" always has imperfections in one way or another, but the huge attention and discussion it has attracted are enough to prove that Jay Chou's status is still unshakable. "The so-called king does not necessarily represent his current status." Combat power at least represents his far-reaching influence." Sanshi Yiyi also believes that the sales performance of "Say Good or Not Cry" also reflects the evolution of copyright awareness, "In the past, when Jay Chou was worth everyone's money, few people actually spent money on him. For money, they borrow albums or buy pirated copies to listen to. Nowadays, fans are gradually growing up, and many people have begun to realize that they need to pay back what they owed him. A song that is not worth tens of millions should actually sell for tens of millions. Look. You will understand it if you look ahead and look at the future.
