CRAZY - EP

“During production, as we concentrated more and more on the songs, it occurred to me that ‘CRAZY’ is a word that perfectly suits the music,” K-pop idol KAZUHA tells Apple Music about the lead single from LE SSERAFIM’s fourth mini album, also titled CRAZY. Phonky and upbeat, the song is a part of an eclectic five-track album from the Korean girl group, who debuted in 2022. In an effort to explore the various meanings of the title word, CRAZY moves from the EDM-fueled spoken-word track “Chasing Lightning” to the hip-hop hype song “Pierrot” (sampling Kim Wan Sun’s 1990 hit “Pierrot Laughs at Us”) to the Coachella-debuted dance-pop number “1-800-hot-n-fun.” It all culminates in the tender ballad “Crazier,” titled something closer to “the reason I can’t go crazy” in its original Korean. “Having this as the last track on the album is like us posing a question to you,” shares YUNJIN. “What does CRAZY mean to you?” Here’s what the five members of LE SSERAFIM—SAKURA, KIM CHAEWON, HUH YUNJIN, KAZUHA, and HONG EUNCHAE—had to say about each track. “Chasing Lightning” SAKURA: “This is the five of us sharing thoughts about things we’re into, stuff that we’re crazy about. And it has a message: ‘Listen to your own heart and change this moment!’ Unlike the intro tracks from our previous albums, we switched things up here by opening with everyday conversation.” “CRAZY” KAZUHA: “‘CRAZY’ is the title track of the album. It’s about moments when you discover something that you can go crazy about. When I first saw the title I was like, ‘Wow, that’s pretty intense!’ [laughs] During production, as we concentrated more and more on the songs, it occurred to me that ‘CRAZY’ is a word that perfectly suits the music. The melody on this track has a great hook that gets you humming along to it, anytime and anywhere. It’s perfect for when you need a burst of excitement or a boost in self-esteem.” “Pierrot” KIM CHAEWON: “The sample here is from ‘Pierrot Laughs at Us’ by Kim Wan Sun. Personally, I’m a fan of the hip-hop style. I was really glad to do ‘Pierrot’ because it's in my favored style and also showcases a fresh new side to us as a group.” “1-800-hot-n-fun” HONG EUNCHAE: “I like how the title is in the form of an American toll-free number. The track is all about the message: ‘Call us at “1-800-hot-n-fun”! Let’s have a hot and wild time together!’ It’s filled with fun little details, too. My favorite lyric from this is ‘Where the heck is SAKI?’—‘SAKI’ being our nickname for SAKURA. The track is brimming with a rock feel, so please enjoy.” “Crazier” HUH YUNJIN: “I think the word ‘crazy’ means different things to different people. The members before me talked about four songs that each have their own take on ‘crazy.’ But this last track, ‘Crazier,’ is different. It’s about the absence of ‘crazy.’ The message of the song is that youthful life can be beautiful, even if lacking in crazy, which we wanted to convey with sincerity and empathy. Having this as the last track on the album is like us posing a question to you: ‘What does CRAZY mean to you?’”
