Crazy for You (Let Loose song)

"Crazy for You" is a song by British pop music trio Let Loose, released in April 1993 by Vertigo Records as their debut single from their self-titled album (1994). The song was written by Richie Wermerling and produced by Nicky Graham. The original 1993 release reached No. 44 in the United Kingdom. On 13 June 1994, "Crazy for You" was re-issued in the UK by Mercury Records and attained a new peak of No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. It became the UK's eighth-best-selling single of 1994.

Speaking to Digital Spy in 2009, Wermerling said of the song and its success: "I wrote the song myself and knew it was a bit prettier than some of my other ones, but I didn't think it would pick up as much as it did. It was around for months and even I had to turn off the radio after a while. I'm pleased though as it still pays for the bacon in the morning now!"
