Seal was inspired for the song Crazy by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Tian'anmen massacre in 1990 . In a 2015 interview, Seal said: “I felt like I was at the peak of a cycle. I felt that the world has changed and profound things are happening. "
When Trevor Horn produced the song, the procedure lasted two months. "Crazy wasn't easy to record because it's a demanding song."
