"Crazy" is a song by British R&B girl group Eternal. Written and produced by BeBe Winans, the song is the sixth and final single to be released from their debut album, Always & Forever (1993). This was also the only Eternal single to feature all members of the group singing lead vocals, where usually it would only have been lead singer Easther Bennett. The single entered and peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, staying inside the charts for seven weeks. This would also be the last single to feature member Louise Redknapp, who left the group to pursue a solo career. It was released shortly after the band failed to crack the American music market with their debut album which was released in March of that year.

Due to other commitments, Eternal were unable to record a promotional video for the song.

Critical reception[]

A reviewer from Music Week gave the song five out of five, stating that "the girl's gospel roots are to the fore on this bumper Christmas package which once agan puts them in Whitney Houston, as opposed to En Vogue, territory."[2] Ralph Tee from the magazine's RM Dance Update deemed it one of the "highlights" from the album.[3] Another editor, James Hamilton described it as a "strongly wailed Whitney-ish gospel remake".[4]
