"Going Crazy" (Korean: 미친거니; RR: Michin Geoni) is a solo debut single by South Korean singer Song Ji-eun. It is released as a digital single on March 3, 2011 through TS Entertainment. The song's inspiration came from the producers who have felt they needed to showcase a darker side of Jieun, thus coming up with the idea of a stalking relationship. The song features BAP's Bang Yong-guk, who sings the rap parts of the song. The song's lyrics tells of a fallen relationship in which the protagonist couldn't stand the stalking of her obsessed ex-lover.

The song was written and produced by Kang Ji-won and Kim Ki-bum, the same composers of Secret's hits such as "Magic", "Madonna"and "Shy Boy". "Going Crazy" is a mid-tempo hip hop ballad with guitar, piano and violin instrumentation. Featured singer, Bang Yong-guk participated in the song's production by writing the lyrics of his rap parts in "Going Crazy".

The single was promoted with live performances and a music video. Jieun and Yongguk promoted the song on M Countdown, Music Bank, SBS MTV's The Show, Music Core and Inkigayo. In December 2011, a remix version of "Going Crazy" was performed on MBC's 2011 Gayo Daejaejun!. They also performed the song on B.A.P's debut showcase in January 2011. The accompanying video, directed by Johnny Bro's Hon Won-ki and filmed in February 2011, stars Min Hyo-rin and B.A.P's Kim Him-chan in a kidnapping scene as Jieun and Yongguk perform in an abandoned building and in a rice field.

"Going Crazy" was well received by music critics and among netizens, and charted strongly throughout various music charts. Fans praised the song for its matured lyrics as well as Jieun's vocal performance and Yongguk's rapping skills.
