Background



According to the song's producers Carvin & Ivan, the song was originally offered to Dru Hill member Larry "Jazz" Anthony who was set to record a solo album for Def Jam Recordings. He initially refused on recording the song for his solo debut, rejecting the sample of "Vivre Pour Vivre" in favor of wanting it played with live instruments. Anthony then dropped the song from his album and "Halfcrazy" was later rewritten with new verses by Musiq.[http://youknowigotsoul.com/musiq-soulchild-halfcrazy-was-originally-meant-for-another-artist Musiq Soulchilds Halfcrazy Was Originally Meant For Another Artist]
