Na, na, na, na The smell of your skin lingers on me now You're probably on your flight back to your hometown I need some shelter of my own protection, baby Be with myself and center Clarity, peace, serenity I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It's personal, myself and I We got some straightening out to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I've got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now And big girls don't cry Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone I must take the baby steps till I'm full-grown, full-grown Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they? And I foresee the dark ahead, if I stay I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It's personal, myself and I We got some straightening out to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I've got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now And big girls don't cry Like the little schoolmate in the school yard We'll play jacks and UNO cards I'll be your best friend, and you'll be my valentine Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to 'Cause I want to hold yours too We'll be playmates and lovers And share our secret worlds But it's time for me to go home It's getting late and dark outside I need to be with myself and center Clarity, peace, serenity I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It's personal, myself and I We got some straightening out to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I've got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now And big girls don't cry Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

A produção de “Big Girls Don’t Cry” foi descrita por will.i.am como seu maior desafio até então, comparando‑a a um estilo de produção “tipo Edie Brickell”.
A gravação contou com cerca de 30 instrumentistas, entre eles violinistas, violistas e violoncelistas, conferindo à balada pop um arranjo acústico rico e distinto dos singles anteriores de Fergie.
O clipe “Personal”, dirigido por Anthony Mandler, foi usado pela marca Candie’s para promover sua linha de roupas, apresentando Fergie vestindo peças desenhadas especialmente para a campanha.
Com o sucesso da canção, Fergie se tornou a primeira artista feminina a alcançar três singles número 1 no mesmo álbum desde 2000, igualando o feito de Christina Aguilera com o álbum de estreia dela.
“Big Girls Don’t Cry” liderou as paradas de Radio Songs, Pop Songs e Adult Contemporary, além de alcançar a primeira posição na Billboard Hot 100 em setembro 2007, marcando o quarto top 5 extraído do álbum *The Dutchess*.
A versão “extended” do videoclipe tem quase nove minutos e reproduz a música duas vezes, intercalando cenas de flashback que mostram a história completa antes de retornar ao desempenho no armazém.
