Background, production and release
"Crazy Crazy" was composed by Yasutaka Nakata with lyrics by Charli XCX. Kyary had wanted to collaborate with an outside artist for some time. Composer and producer Yasutaka Nakata later confirmed that Charli XCX was the artist that they were collaborating with.[5] While recording the song, Kyary had difficulty singing in full English due to the lyric's difficulty.[6]
The teaser video for "Crazy Crazy" was produced by Nakata and shot in Los Angeles and Tokyo.[7] Actual audience participation during the music video was endorsed using "Face Swap" which was popularized by Snapchat, a smartphone app.[8][9] The music video was released on January 26, 2017.
