"Go Crazy" is a song by American singer Chris Brown and American rapper Young Thug, from their collaborative mixtape Slime & B, released on May 5, 2020. After it became the only charting song from the mixtape, it was officially released as a single on May 19, 2020. The song is a trap-infused R&B record, with production that samples the Showboys's 1986 single "Drag Rap", for which the Showboys are credited as writers. The official remix of the song was released on February 19, 2021, and features fellow American rappers Future, Lil Durk, and Latto.
"Go Crazy" garnered positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its production and the duo's delivery, being considered by some as the mixtape's best song. Some critics compared the song to early 2010s music, as well as Brown's previous single "Heat" (2019), for its similar musical direction. The song received great success, becoming Brown's biggest radio hit since 2008, dominating on both pop and hip hop radio, breaking the record for most weeks at number one on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, surpassing "No Guidance", by Brown (ft. Drake).[3] The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2021, earning Brown his seventh top-five song as a lead artist, as well Young Thug's highest lead artist charting song in the US.
A music video, shot in Brown's California mansion, was released on July 17, 2020, and displays a big house party, with a supernatural atmosphere full of colorful thunders, fireworks, pools and girls. The storyline of the videoclip continues in the music video of the following single from the mixtape, "Say You Love Me". "Go Crazy" received various accolades, including one iHeartRadio Music Award and three Soul Train Music Awards, including Song of the Year.
