It Will Make Me Crazy


"It Will Make Me Crazy" is a song by British DJ and producer Francis Wright, known under the pseudonym of Felix. It was released in October 1992 by Deconstruction Records, as the second single from his debut album, #1, and features vocalist Steele, also known as Sam Brown. The song, both written and produced by Felix, topped the chart in Finland and reached the top-5 in Switzerland, Ireland and Germany. Additionally, it was also a top-10 hit in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. In the UK, it peaked at number 11 and on the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number seven. Outside Europe, the single peaked at number 14 in Israel and number 55 in Australia. Its accompanying music video was directed by Lindy Heymann.

Critical reception

Ben Turner from Melody Maker complimented the song's "delicious, disco frenzy mix", adding, "Anyone who heard this in Club For Life for the first time will remember the mayhem that followed." Tim Southwell from Smash Hits commented, "Not quite as catchy as previous smash 'Don't You Want Me', but play it extremely loud and you won't be able to hold yourself back. It's ravey, it's manic and it's getting people dancing like mad things from Putney to Prestwick."

Music video

A partially black-and-white music video was produced to promote the single, directed by British director Lindy Heymann. It features singer Steele and dancers performing in a basement. The video received heavy rotation on MTV Europe in January 1993 and was later made available on Felix' official YouTube channel in 2012. It had generated more than 1.5 million views as of October 2025.
