ALEXIS has been steadily carving out her place in pop music, and with her latest single, “u sure like to make me feel crazy”, she proves she’s not afraid to confront messy emotions head-on. Following the success of “Blue Jeans” and “HATE IT HERE”, this synth-soaked breakup anthem feels like the next logical evolution in her catalogue—bold, self-aware, and unflinchingly honest. The track opens with shimmering synths that immediately pull listeners in, setting the stage for a story that is equal parts heartbreaking and exhilarating.
The songwriting, credited to ALEXIS alongside Aidan Hogg, Alieysha Dulcie Nicholls, and Giulia Mclean, captures that disorienting feeling of questioning your own reality within a relationship. Every lyric lands with clarity and punch, a testament to the team’s sharp eye for emotional nuance. From the opening lines to the soaring chorus, there’s a relatability that feels both personal and universal—a rare combination in contemporary pop.
Aidan Hogg’s production plays a pivotal role in the track’s impact. Known for his work with GFlip and The Beaches, Hogg strikes a perfect balance between raw emotionality and pop accessibility. The synth layers, crisp percussion, and subtle flourishes of electronic texture give the song an infectious energy, making it as danceable as it is emotionally resonant. It’s a song that invites repeated listening, revealing new production details with each play.
The mixing and mastering by Liam Quinn, who has previously worked with Peach PRC and Ruel, ensures that every element hits with precision. Vocals are front and center, capturing the urgency and vulnerability of ALEXIS’ delivery, while the instrumental layers shimmer without ever overpowering the emotion at the core of the track. The result is a polished yet vibrant sound that feels immediate and intimate at the same time.
What makes “u sure like to make me feel crazy” stand out is its ability to be brutally honest while remaining irresistibly catchy. There’s a cathartic release in the chorus, an almost euphoric recognition of messy emotions that many listeners will immediately identify with. ALEXIS’ willingness to explore vulnerability within a pop framework is what sets her apart from her peers, making her one of the most exciting emerging voices in the genre.
“I wrote this song about a previous relationship I had where I was constantly second-guessing myself and I felt like I was losing my mind. It’s a brutally honest reflection on what it means to lose yourself into someone else’s chaos and the clarity that comes when you finally step out of it,” ALEXIS shares on the release.
Ultimately, the song solidifies ALEXIS’ trajectory in pop music: fearless, emotive, and effortlessly catchy. She has a knack for transforming personal experiences into songs that resonate widely, and “u sure like to make me feel crazy” is a shining example of her talent. As she continues to expand her catalogue, it’s clear that ALEXIS isn’t just creating hits—she’s building a distinctive, emotionally intelligent pop identity that demands attention.
