This song, written by Paige's producer Andy Goldmark along with the songwriters Mark Mueller, Berny Cosgrove and Kevin Clark, was inspired by Paige's personal experiences and observations in her love life. There have been claims that It was written for Joey Fatone of 'N Sync, as she was dating him at the time. However Paige told Disney Chat that they were never in a relationship. The rumors started as they used to run into each other a lot during concerts and TV appearances. One day Paige was given a Superman ring, and because Fatone collects Superman stuff he jokingly said it was her engagement ring. The first time Jennifer heard "Crush" on the radio she was on the phone to her mother. She started screaming and her mother thought she was having a heart attack. "Crush" was an international hit, topping the Australian, New Zealand, Spanish and United World charts. It was the first single for Jennifer Paige but ended up being her only hit. She kept making music, going independent after her second album, Positively Somewhere in 2001, didn't rate.
Ah crush ah See you blowin' me a kiss it doesn't take a scientist To understand what's goin' on baby If you see somethin' in my eye, let's not overanalyze Don't go too deep with it baby So let it be what it'll be Don't make a fuss and go crazy over you and me Here's what I do, I'll play it loose Not like we have a date with destiny It's just a little crush Not like I faint every time we touch It's just some little thing Not like everything I do depends on you Sha la la la, sha la la la It's raisin' my adrenalin, you're bangin' on a heart of tin Please don't make too much of it, baby Say, "That we're forever more" That's not what I'm lookin' for, all I can commit to is maybe So let it be what it'll be Don't make a fuss and go crazy over you and me Here's what I do, I'll play it loose Not like we have a date with destiny It's just a little crush Not like I faint every time we touch It's just some little thing Not like everything I do depends on you Sha la la la, sha la la la Vanilla skies White picket fences in your eyes A vision of you and me It's just a little crush Not like I faint every time we touch It's just some little thing Not like everything I do depends on you Sha la la la, sha la la la Not like I faint every time we touch It's just some little thing Not like everything I do depends on you Sha la la la, sha la la la Not like I faint every time we touch It's just some little thing Not like everything I do
