"Crzy" (stylized as "CRZY") is a song by American singer and songwriter Kehlani. It was released on July 16 2016 and serves as the lead single from their debut album, SweetSexySavage. The song was produced by female R&B and pop duo Nova Wav.[1]

Background

[edit]

"CRZY" was written by Kehlani and produced by Nova Wav, a Grammy Award-winning songwriting and production team consisting of Denisia "Blu June" Andrews and Brittany "Chi" Coney. They said the song was made in an effort to "create an unapologetic statement embracing the challenges and double standards that come with being a woman".[2]

The song sees Kehlani take on an assertive and boastful tone over a trap-influenced R&B beat as they tell the listener not to discredit their passion, talent and achievements.
