Background and composition

"Crazy What Love Can Do" is a house and pop song, which crosses over into electronic dance music, with piano chords and "soaring" vocals from Becky Hill and Ella Henderson.[1][2][3] The song follows a structure that builds and layers, beginning with vocals then claps and "catchy piano chords".[3] The lyrics centre on the feelings and empowerment that love and friendship can evoke.[2] Hill and Guetta previously collaborated on the 2021 song "Remember" which was streamed over 150 million times[2] and topped the UK Dance Singles chart,[4] as well as appearing at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart,[5] Irish Singles Chart[6] and Dutch Top 40.[7]

The three artists shared their views on the single. Guetta said "This to me is a summer dance record, and I think it spreads an important message of love and just how powerful it is. I really enjoyed working once again with Becky and working with Ella for the first time was also very exciting. It was a pleasure to work with both these incredible artists."[2] Hill took the opportunity to praise the song's other producers (Riley and Harvey), whilst also noting that it was a shame "that women don't duet together more regularly". Speaking about how both she and Henderson became involved, Hill said "I fell in love with this record the moment I heard it... I knew Ella and I would sound perfect together." Henderson added "This one has been cooking up in the oven for a while so finally letting the world hear it means so much!"[2] EDM Tunes's Matt Seirra compared "Crazy What Love Can Do" to earlier songs by Italian house producers Meduza and English house duo Goodboys.[3]

Reception

We Rave You's Jackson Naffa praised Guetta's "exquisite production", noting that between that and the vocals, "we get a groovy pop anthem that'll guarantee you're moving on the dance floor!"[1] Similarly, Marissa Tomeo writing for BroadwayWorld praised Hill and Henderson's soaring vocals as being "instantly recognisable" and commending the "euphoric drops in the production which made the song "destined for the sound of summer 2022."[2] Katrina Rees of CelebMix agreed, saying the song would "no doubt be played loud and proud across festivals and clubs over the coming months", further praising the song's female empowerment message and "irresistible piano chords and euphoric drops".[8]

Upon release its release, BBC Radio 1's Best New Pop and Party Anthems shows announced their support for "Crazy What Love Can Do".[2] Similarly, Kiss radio's Anna Sky Hulton said the song was "a tune".[9]

Music video

A music video for "Crazy What Love Can Do" was filmed in Barcelona and Miami.[2] It was released on full on 20 April 2022, via Facebook. In the cinematic visual Henderson and Hill "play two friends who decide to give up their mundane jobs and go on an adventure. Packing their bags, the pair throw their suitcases in the back of a convertible and take off into the desert on a 'journey of a lifetime'." Guetta also appears in the video as a detective investigating their disappearance.[10] Speaking about the music video, Henderson compared it to a Thelma & Louise film. The concept was to "tell the story of how two best friends only need their own self love & each other to take on the world & never look back."[2] The music video was teased with some "movie-style" posters ahead of its release.
