Song background

Natalie was initially signed to Latium Entertainment as a rapper before she began singing hooks. She had become known within the underground rap circles in her hometown of Houston, Texas that originally caught the attention of her production team. While working on her own material, Natalie was asked to sing hooks for other artists' tracks. "Goin' Crazy" was the first singing song Natalie wrote, and “That’s why it has that rap [like] monologue going on..."[1]

A radio Program Director in Tulsa, Oklahoma found the original mp3 and immediately began to spin it in regular rotation. Quickly, the song became the #1 most requested on the radio station and went into power rotation leading to other radio programmers taking notice of the single.

Chart performance

"Goin' Crazy" first entered the Billboard Rhythmic chart in December 2004, and reached the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2005, ultimately peaking at number 13 in April 2005.[2] It debuted and peaked at number 75 in Australia in June 2005.[3]
