Crazy Little Thing

"Crazy Little Thing" is the third single from Chase Elite's solo debut album Hunting Season. With a release date of October 24, 2011, the track was written by Brett Clarkson, with Danish producer Cutfather responsible for the song's production. The song became Elite's' third consecutive top 3 hit, charting at #2.
==Background==
When writing the album, Chase told his label he felt it lacked a track "showing himself as a womanizer". He then approached his (at the time) friend Brett Clarkson, reknown for his womanizing antics, and asked him to write a track for his debut album. Upon the completition of "Crazy Little Thing" Chase was apparently extatic, and told his label he demanded the track be released as a single at some stage.
==Release and reception==
Digital Spy stated "You might not like Chase Elite as a person, but to say the only thing he has working for him is his appearance would be an incorrect statement after listening to this single. It seems from one pretty boy to another, Brett Clarkson knows exactly what kind of track to write Chase. Slowly but surely, Chase is stepping out of his sister's shadow and earning himself the title of a popstar in his own right, and this only emphasies that fact." It ended the review by awarding the song 4/5 stars.
==Music video==
Before it's premiere, not much was known about the video, other than the fact American model Amelia Clark signed a contract to act as Chase's love interest in his first four music videos, therefore she would deffinately be in this video.
Following on from the video for "Don't Stop The Music", the video begins where Chase is sat in a room looking highly distressed (after he discovered Amelia had cheated on him with a woman). In all his anger, as a 'crazy little thing' Chase starts to destroy the room. Throwing and smashing every object he can get his hands on. Suddenly Chase's phone vibrates. He checks it and see's a text from Amelia. The text says "if you're still crazy about me, then proove it. You know where I'll be x". The next scene shows Chase in a car. Apparently Amelia was expecting him to race against another man for her heart, it might sound a bit crazy, but thas the point. Chase (driving an orange sports car) gets off to a dodgey start, however due to some skilled driving he manages to take the lead and blast through the finishing line in 1st place. Chase gets out his car and cheers at the crowd. In the mean time however, the driver who lost the race heads over to Amelia and starts squeezing her bum. Chase see's this and in all his anger, walks straight up to the man and punches him to the floor. Being the crazy little thing that he is, Chase then grabs a sledgehammer, and smashes the man's car to bits. Amelia looks on in horror and runs off. Chase hops in his car and drives to a remote location. Apparently it is somewhere he has history with Ameilia though, as she knows where to go, and she walks over to Chase as he stands by his car. Chase checks out Amelia, and she walks over to him and they begin to make out with each other, showing apparently they're back together again.
