"Crazy for You" is a song by British pop/rock trio Let Loose, released in 1993 as their debut single from their self-titled album. It was written by Richie Wermerling and produced by Nicky Graham.[3] The original 1993 release reached No. 44 in the UK; however, a re-issue the following year saw the song peak at No. 2.[4] It became the eighth bestselling single of 1994.[5]

Speaking to Digital Spy in 2009, Wermerling said of the song and its success: "I wrote the song myself and knew it was a bit prettier than some of my other ones, but I didn't think it would pick up as much as it did. It was around for months and even I had to turn off the radio after a while. I'm pleased though as it still pays for the bacon in the morning now!"[6]
