"
Crazy for You" is a song by American singer
Madonna from the
soundtrack album to the 1985 film
Vision Quest. It was released on March 2, 1985 by
Geffen Records as the first single from the soundtrack. The song appears remixed on the greatest hits compilation
The Immaculate Collection (1990) and was re-released on February 24, 1991 by
Sire Records to promote the album. The song was also included on the ballads compilation
Something to Remember (1995) and the greatest hits compilation
Celebration (2009). Producers
Jon Peters and
Peter Guber, along with music director
Phil Ramone, decided to use Madonna after listening to her previous recordings, employing
John Bettis and
Jon Lind to write the song. After reading the script of the film, Bettis and Lind wrote the song about the situation in which the lead characters meet at a nightclub. Initial recording sessions did not impress Bettis and Lind, and they felt that "Crazy for You" would be dropped from the soundtrack. However, a new version was recorded to their liking.
