Music video
The accompanying music video, directed by C. Prinz,[1] to the single depicts a chaotic scene, featuring naked dancers, an albino alligator, as well as Doechii recklessly spraying a gun around.[2]
The singer expressed that “Crazy is about un-contained power, creativity and confidence. People call you crazy when they fear you or they don’t understand you. So when I use it in the song I’m reflecting that energy back on them to show them themselves.”[3] Suggesting to a self-inspired song.
Production & reception
Amidst the hype of her then chronologically last released single Persuasive, suggests that we are "knee-deep in the year of Doechii as she continues to hold music in a headlock." according to an article writer at Ones to Watch.[4]
