Popis: If $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, it can be produced in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ annihilation by the creation of ${D}^{*0}{\overline{D}}^{*0}$ from a virtual photon followed by the rescattering of the $P$-wave charm-meson pair into the $X$ and a photon. A triangle singularity produces a narrow peak in the cross section for ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}X\ensuremath{\gamma}$ about 2.2 MeV above the ${D}^{*0}{\overline{D}}^{*0}$ threshold. We predict the normalized cross section in the region of the peak. We show that the absorptive contribution to the cross section for ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{D}^{*0}{\overline{D}}^{*0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}X\ensuremath{\gamma}$, which was calculated previously by Dubynskiy and Voloshin, does not give a good approximation to the peak from the triangle singularity.
