Background

On January 26, Cube Entertainment announced that 4Minute would pre-release a track titled "Cold Rain", marking the first time the group has released a ballad as a single.[1] On January 29, 4Minute announced a second single track "Crazy" and noted that it would be the title of their sixth EP.[2]

Promotion and music video

The music video for "Crazy" was released on February 9.[3][4] The song impacted Korean Broadcasting System's "K-Pop Connection" radio on February 10, 2015.[5]

On November 5, 2017, the music video for "Crazy" hit 100 million views on YouTube, which makes 4Minute the sixth K-pop girl group to reach 100 million views, as well as the first girl group from neither of the Big3 (SM, YG and JYP) to reach this milestone.[6][7]

Controversy

According to KBS' music-review results on the February 4, 4Minute's "Cut it Out" was banned for its use of slang. 4Minute's agency Cube Entertainment rep told Star News, "Since 'Cut it Out' is a sub-track off their new album that they also plan to perform, we are in talks to request for a reconsideration." They decided to change the lyrics while performing on stage.[8]
