Overview Edit

"(You Drive Me) Crazy" is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears. The song was written and produced by Max Martin, Jörgen Elofsson, Per Magnusson and David Kreuger for Spears' debut studio album, ...Baby One More Time (1999). It was released on August 23, 1999 by Jive Records, as the third single from the album. The teen pop song, speaks of a woman who is crazy by her love interest, claiming that his "love keeps [her] up all night".

The single version differs from the original album version on ...Baby One More Time, which was recorded a year before in March 1998 in Sweden. On May 12, 1999, Martin and Spears came to the Battery Studios in New York and re-recorded the vocals of the original song to the remixed version, called "The Stop! Remix". The remix was first included on the original motion picture soundtrack of the film Drive Me Crazy, and was later included on Spears first compilation Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. The song was a commercial success reaching the top ten positions in almost every country it charted in. It also gave Spears her second top ten hit in the United States.

An accompanying music video, directed by Nigel Dick, portrays Spears as a waitress of a club, who changes her clothes and starts to sing and dance to a guy who stares at her and drives her crazy. It features guest appearances of actors Melissa Joan Hart and Adrien Grenier, due to promotion of the 1999 film Drive Me Crazy. "(You Drive Me) Crazy" was performed by Spears on five tours, including ...Baby One More Time Tour, Crazy 2k Tour, Dream Within a Dream Tour, and The Onyx Hotel Tour.

5 stars Britney's best song ever.
I'm a female fan of Britney Spears, so I like her music and not her looks. I think "(You Drive Me) Crazy" is her best song ever, especially the 'STOP' remix - I think that rocks! I love it when she says, "...Stop!" in the song. By the way, this is one of the only ways you can get the 'STOP' remix for the song. There is a different, slower version on her album. Anyways, even though this is an Import so it costs extra, it's still worth it. There is also an instrumental version for those who would …

3 stars OK but definately could be better
This song rules but Britiney you need vocal lessons. Her voice is really bad. Christina Aguilera should have sung it. Plus, Britney's 15 minutes is definately closing in. Baby one more time is the oldest song, so STOP playing it on the radio. Furthermore, Britney is only successful because she got breast implants and young 10 year old boys like that sort of thing.
