"'Relax'" is a song by American singer Crystal Waters from her second studio album, 'Storyteller' (1994). It was released in 1995 as the fourth and last single from the album, and peaked at number-one on the 'Billboard' Dance Club Songs chart in the US. It was also classified the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Breakouts number-one for the category of Club Play Singles on July 1, 1995. In the UK, it reached number 37. A black-and-white music video was produced to promote the single, directed by German director Marcus Nispel.

Critical reception



Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described "Relax" as a "breezy, pop-inflected houser", and a "notable single-ready moment" from the 'Storyteller' album. He also called it "lively" and "disco charged". M.R. Martinez from 'Cash Box' said that tracks like "Relax" make the Storyteller album "more than a dance record." James Masterton for Dotmusic deemed it as "slightly formulaic and disappointing". Ross Jones from 'The Guardian' said that Waters "delivers another of her berserkly positive electro-scat anthems, this one imploring you to kick back even when you're "mad at the world"."Jones, Ross (25 November 1995). "Reviews: Singles". p. 33. 'The Guardian'. A reviewer from 'Music Week' rated it three out of five, declaring it as "an uplifting and catchy track with those recognisable vocals that feels as though it might be equally at home on radio as in the clubs."
