Composition

"Crazy for You" was written by Jacob Hoggard, Brian Howes and Jason Van Poederooyen. It was co-produced by Hoggard along with Howes. Lyrically, the song is a love song to a woman of questionable mental faculties. Musically, the track is described as disco, drawing comparisons to Daft Punk's "Get Lucky". Hoggard said the track was inspired by "old school Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder."

Music video

The official music video for "Crazy for You" was directed by J. Lee Williams and Timur Musabay, and premiered on February 14, 2014. Inspired by the 1988 film They Live, it depicts the band members escaping a psychiatric hospital, only to find that the outside world is not as they remember. The video was nominated for Post-Production Video of the Year at the 2014 MMVAs, but lost to City and Colour's "Thirst".
