"Crush" is the third track on Canadian singer/songwriter Allan Rayman's third studio album Harry Hard-On. The song was co-written by Rayman, Andrew Dawson and Linkin Park's Brad Delson.
Background
"Crush" mixes elements of 80's rock and the 90's grunge sound Rayman utilized throughout his earlier projects with R&B and hip-hop influence present throughout the album.[1] Time Magazine wrote of the track, "Allan Rayman’s song starts out as simple enough rock ‘n’ roll, edgy but direct. Yet it’s the enigmatic and media-shy Toronto artist’s casual, lower-register delivery that elevates it to something more, a grunge-y meditation over heavy bass, before breaking into his restrained howls. Rayman’s voice contains multitudes: a rough ache, a smooth hum, a rock star’s confidence. “Crush” coasts along on the power of these levels, a looping song with no real resolution but plenty of tension."[2]
Music Video
A music video for "Crush" was directed by Steph Verschuren on 16mm film and released on December 05, 2018. It was shot back to back with the music video for "Rose" which was done during a 5 day trip to Alaska.[3][4] Verschuren was also responsible for artwork of the album and single.[5][6]

Lyrics
Now, there's a look that I know, a familiar feeling
Her crush starts to grow, so she picks her massive meat
And takes it all home, cook it for supper
Eats it alone, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show
She hates how I'm always right, I know her emotions
She's got something to hide, but she don't like to talk
Oh, won't look me in the eyes when her crush starts to show
That's when I give her some time, give her some time
Her crush starts to show, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show
Ooh, babe, hey, hey, babe
Mm, baby, baby, baby, hey, hey
Her crush starts to show, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show
Hate me now, love me then
All torn up by my new friend
Hate me now, it's no different
Her crush shows, her crush shows
Ooh, babe, her crush starts to show
Ey, ey, babe, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show, ey, ey, babe!
Her crush starts to show
