I'd hate walk away from you as if this never existed Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out of my system)Īnd I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (yeah) Now things are strange, nothings the sameĪnd my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you out of my system)Īnd I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on) We both thought it was cool to cross the line Now I'm all confused cause for you I have deeper feelings Never thought that we would ever be more than friends Ivan Barias: That’s crazy, I never knew that.La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Let’s just move from this point on.” That’s how I wrote that tag line “I just want my friend back”. We went into a relationship and it started getting crazy and I’m like “I just want my friend back. Basically, our relationship started off as the coolest relationship, she was like my dude, we could relate on every level. Then they just rewrote the lyrics and trimmed the hook, and the rest is history.Ĭarvin Haggins: Lyrically the song was about being in a relationship with a young woman. I played the beat first for Carvin and Musiq and you lost your minds. Put the track together and called Jazz and told him we had his record and he was like “Man, I’m gonna pass on it!” *Laughs* Fast forward a few months later, we’re at the video shoot for “Girl Next Door” and Musiq was saying “Yea I’m getting ready to go in and do my next album, you know what song I want to cut? I want to cut ‘Half Crazy’.” We went to L.A., came back and went in a few months later and went straight to the studio to work with Musiq. Frank Romono came in and played guitar and Pete Kozma came in and played keys and Matt Cappy and Jeff Bradshaw did horns. So I had to chop the bassline of the sample.

The crazy thing about it was the sample was off, so when Terry played on it, he tried to put the drums back into it and everything was off. The order of how I did it, I called Terry and he came in and played. So I called in the troops, I called in Frank Romono, Terry Trippet, Pete Kozma, Jeff Bradshaw and Matt Cappy. He wanted something that showcased a little bit more of the musicality of what it was all about.
HALF CRAZY MUSIQ SOULCHILD UPDATE
Months later I hit Jazz up and asked if he still wanted the record and he said “I don’t know man, I think we’ve gotta get some different sounds on there.” He wanted us to update the music a little bit because it just sounded like the sample we had on there. The only thing was the verses were different and the music was totally different. They put us in the studio with him and we recorded the song “Half Crazy”.

He had a solo deal with Def Jam and our management team brought Jazz to A Touch of Jazz studios. It was originally a sample on that record as well. When we originally did the record, we did it with Jazz from Dru Hill. Ivan Barias: “Halfcrazy” has a very interesting story behind it. Check out our latest interview with Musiq where he talks about his upcoming album.Ĭarvin Haggins: You know what’s funny, I just listened to a cassette tape of “Halfcrazy”, but of when Jazz of Dru Hill sang it! “Halfcrazy” is one of Musiq Soulchild’s most popular hits, but did you know the song was actually meant for Jazz from Dru Hill? The producers Carvin & Ivan tell us the story behind that song and how it eventually ended up Musiq’s second album “Juslisten”.
