Lyrical content

The official music video shows what "Crazy" is about. It is about a lover who ruminates over the poor choices he made that caused his girlfriend to break up with him. The song talks about losing sleep over it and after realizing the pain he has caused his girlfriend, he must choose between her and his life as a criminal. Once he chooses his criminal friends over her, he eventually regrets his decision and wishes to return to her.
