Background


The song was going to be a duet between Kim and Lil' Cease from the beginning, but after filming the music video for her debut single "No Time", Kim became pregnant; she would later decide to abort. After this, Kim took a musical hiatus. This resulted in the album version of the song featuring just Lil' Cease. The single version, retitled as a remix, features Kim. The "Crush on You" (Remix) was not featured on the "Crush on You" single, it was only featured on the "Not Tonight" single.

Music video


The music video was directed by Lance "Un" Rivera and it was filmed on January 29, 1997. The music video was released for the week ending on February 23, 1997. The music video for "Crush on You" is noted as being the first video to feature the different colored wigs that Kim became known for. The theme for the video, the changing floor colors, was based on the film The Wiz. After deciding on the theme, Kim and her stylist thought that her outfits should change to match the floor color, with Kim adding that she should wear wigs to match as well. The video consists of four colored setups, blue, yellow, green and red with Kim's outfits and wigs changing throughout to match.

Additionally, Luke, Aaliyah and Sheek Louch make cameos in the music video.
