"Crawl" is a song by American singer Chris Brown. It is the second single from his third studio album Graffiti, released as a digital download on November 24, 2009 by Jive Records. The song was produced by The Messengers and was written by Brown. The song is about yearning to rebuild a failed relationship and was interpreted by critics as being about Brown's former relationship with Rihanna. However, Brown has stated the song is not about any of his previous relationships.
The song received positive to mixed reviews. It charted in the top 20 in Japan and New Zealand, and the top 40 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It peaked in the United States at number 53. The accompanying music video features Brown and singer Cassie as his love interest. In the video, Brown yearns for their relationship on a winter night in a city and in a desert scene. Brown performed the song on his 2009 Fan Appreciation Tour, and on BET's SOS: Help for Haiti Telethon, which benefited victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
