Songfacts®:

  • This song finds Beyoncé crooning about doing the things to her lover that he likes. "People think I'm crazy but I love you 'cause you crazy too," she ruminates nodding to her "Crazy In Love" hit single.

    Beyoncé was the second member of the Knowles-Carter clan to feature on IV Play following her husband Jay-Z's verse on "High Art."
  • 2 Chainz concludes the track with a verse where he talks about drinking a girl's bathwater. The Georgia rapper told MTV's RapFix Live he rarely is asked to change his rhymes, but when Beyoncé asked him to make an alteration on this song, he did so willingly. "I did a record for Beyoncé. It ended up being on Dream's album, but I did the record for Beyoncé," he said. "She asked me to change it, but the way she asked me made me really realize why she's in the position that she's in and the whole diva thing, and I just had mad respect for her."
