Crush (Mandy Moore song)

"Crush" is a song by American singer Mandy Moore, released as the second single from her self-titled third studio album, Mandy Moore (2001). The song was co-written and produced by Tony Kanal, formerly of the band No Doubt.

The song's lyrics depict the excitement and nervousness associated with having a romantic crush on someone. Musically, "Crush" is a pop song with influences of new wave and bubblegum pop.

"Crush" achieved moderate success, charting within the top 40 in several countries, including Australia and Argentina. It received less commercial attention than her previous singles, such as "Candy" and "I Wanna Be with You."

The accompanying music video features Moore and her friends attending a party, where she tries to get the attention of her crush. The video incorporates bright colors and energetic dance sequences.

While not one of her biggest hits, "Crush" remains a recognizable song from Moore's early career and is often included on compilation albums and radio playlists featuring turn-of-the-millennium pop music.
