"Crazy Chick" is a song by Welsh recording artist Charlotte Church, released as the lead single from her fifth studio album, Tissues and Issues (2005). It was written by Sarah Buras, Wirlie "Wyl-e" Morris, and Fitzgerald Scott and produced by Tore Johannson. Originally intended for Fame Academy series two alumnus Alex Parks, the song was offered to Church when Parks rejected it. Church loathed the song, calling it "throwaway pop", but she succumbed to her record company's demands and recorded it. The lyrics of the song describes a woman who feels that she needs professional help because she is madly in love.[1]
"Crazy Chick" was released in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2005. The song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart in July 2005, becoming Church's second top-three hit on that chart and her first under her real name (she was credited as "CMC" on "The Opera Song (Brave New World)"). The single also reached number 10 in Ireland and the top 40 in Australia and New Zealand. In February 2021, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) awarded the song a silver sales certification for sales and streams exceeding 200,000.
