Go Crazy (Chris Brown and Young Thug song)


"Go Crazy" is a song by American singer Chris Brown and rapper Young Thug. The song is taken from their joint mixtape Slime & B, released on May 5, 2020. Two weeks later, on May 19, 2020, it was released as the project's sole single. The song samples The Showboys' "Drag Rap", for which the band members are credited as writers on the song.

Background

The song first appeared as track 2 on Brown's and Thug's collaboration mixtape Slime & B on May 5, 2020. Two weeks later, the former and his daughter Royalty started a dance challenge for the song called "#GoCrazyChallenge" after it started gaining initial popularity on streaming services. The challenge sees a person dancing on the sidewalk outside a slowly moving car. According to Brown, the challenge was inspired by influencer Mufasa.

Critical reception

Kenan Draughorne of HipHopDX called "Go Crazy" "the album's best song, cleverly sampling The Showboys' iconic "Drag Rap" to complement the free-ranging sonics". Mitch Findlay at HotNewHipHop noted Thug's appearance on the song, saying that it highlights the fact that "he wears his fortune like a peacock wears its feathers" while Brown "understands the inherent dangers posed by living a lavish lifestyle".
