"Crazy Stupid Love" is a song recorded by British singer Cheryl Cole for her fourth studio album Only Human (2014),[3] featuring British hip hop artist Tinie Tempah. The song was co-written by Cole, Tempah, Wayne Wilkins, Heidi Rojas, and singer-songwriter Katelyn Tarver and Kevin Anyaeji, and produced by Wilkins.[4][5] It was released on 30 June 2014 as the lead single from the album, coinciding with Cole's 31st birthday. Musically, the song is a pop and R&B song with saxophones, handclaps, percussion and fingersnaps, while lyrically talks about being uncontrollably in love with someone.
"Crazy Stupid Love" received generally favourable reviews from music critics, whom praised its instrumentation, the song's catchiness and Tempah's appearance. The song debuted atop of the UK Singles Chart, becoming Cole's fourth number one single there and Tempah's fifth, with the former becoming the third British female in history to achieve a quartet of chart-toppers in the UK. The song also topped the charts in the Republic of Ireland.
To promote the song, an accompanying music video was released on 9 June 2014, which sees Cole performing the track in an underground club, while Tinie Tempah also makes a cameo. She also performed the song on several live performances, including Britain's Got Talent and Capital FM's Summertime Ball, as well as being a guest on The Graham Norton Show.
