 Chronology

**"Crazy in Love"** is a song by American singer Beyoncé featuring American rapper Jay-Z from Beyoncé's debut studio album, 2003's *Dangerously in Love*. It was released as the album's lead single on May 14, 2003 through labels Columbia Records and Music World Entertainment. "Crazy in Love" was written by both artists in collaboration with Rich Harrison and Eugene Record; the former also produced it with Beyoncé. The song features samples from The Chi-Lites' 1970 song "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)".
"Crazy in Love" peaked at No. 1 in the United States and United Kingdom, and reached the top ten in various other countries worldwide. At the 2004 Grammy Awards, the song won two awards for Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
In *Sing*, it can be heard as Miss Crawly talks to the audition crowd in front of the Moon Theater. A group of shrimp are then seen singing the song together as their audition for Buster Moon's singing competition. However, their performance was excluded from the "Auditions" track on the film's official soundtrack.

Lyrics

**[Intro: Jay-Z]**
Yes! So crazy right now!
Most incredibly, it's your girl, B
It's your boy, Young
**[Beyoncé]**
You ready?

**[Bridge]**
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh no no
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh no no
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh no no
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh no no

**[Interlude: Jay-Z]**
History in the making
Part two, it's so crazy right now

**[Verse 1: Beyoncé]**
I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm begging you not to go
Call your name two, three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
'Cause I know I don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

**[Chorus]**
Got me looking so crazy right now
Your love's got me looking so crazy right now (Your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now (Your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now
Your kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love's got me looking
Got me looking so crazy in love

**[Bridge]**
Oh oh, oh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Oh oh, oh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Oh oh, oh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Oh oh, oh oh, uh oh, oh no no

**[Verse 2]**
When I talk to my friends so quietly
"Who he think he is?" Look at what you did to me
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
If you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
It's the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you
But I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

**[Chorus]**
Got me looking so crazy right now
Your love's got me looking so crazy right now (Oh, crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now (Your love)
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now (Oh)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now (Hey)
Your kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now (Hey)
Looking so crazy, your love's got me looking
Got me looking so crazy in love
I'm looking so crazy, your love's got me looking
Got me looking so crazy in love
I'm Looking so crazy in love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

**[Verse 3: Jay-Z]**
I'm warmed up now, let's go
Young Hov, y'all know when the flow is loco
Young B and the R-O-C, uh oh (Oh)
O.G. Big Homie, the one and only (Oh no)
Stick bony, but the pockets is fat like Tony Soprano (Oh, no)
The ROC handle like Van Exel
I shake phonies man you can't get next to
The genuine article, I do not sing though
I sling though, If anything I bling yo
A star like Ringo, war like a Green Beret
Crazy, bring ya whole set
Jay-Z in the Range, crazy and deranged
They can't figure him out, they like, "Hey, is he insane?" (Oh, no)
Yes sir, I'm cut from a different cloth
My texture is the best fur: chinchilla
I've been iller than chain smokers
How you think I got the name Hova?
I been realer, the game's over
Fall back Young, ever since I made the change over
To platinum, the game's been a wrap, one

**[Verse 4: Beyoncé]**
Got me looking, so crazy, my baby
I'm not myself lately, I'm foolish, I don't do this
I've been playing myself, baby, I don't care
'Cause your love's got the best of me
And baby you're making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don't care who sees
'Cause baby you got me, you got me, so crazy, baby
Hey!

**[Chorus]**
Got me looking so crazy right now
Your love's got me looking so crazy right now (Your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now (Your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now
Your kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love's got me looking
Got me looking so crazy in love
Got me looking so crazy right now
Your love's got me looking so crazy right now (Your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now (Your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now
Your kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love's got me looking
Got me looking so crazy in love
