Background
"CRZY" was written by Kehlani and produced by Novawav, a Grammy Award-winning songwriting and production team consisting of Denisia "Blu June" Andrews and Brittany "Chi" Coney.

The song sees Kehlani take on an assertive and boastful tone over a trap-influenced R&B beat as she tells the listener not to discredit her passion, talent and achievements.
