"u sure like to make me feel crazy" is a bold and emotionally charged alt-pop anthem that turns weakness into strength. Alexandra-Isabelle Barrientos (ALEXIS), Aidan Hogg, Alieysha Dulcie Nicholls, and Giulia Mclean wrote the piece, which captures the confusing internal turmoil of loving someone who always makes you doubt yourself.
ALEXIS uses the polished, dynamic soundscape of the track to convey the emotional chaos of a relationship rife with self-doubt. Instead of giving in to sadness, she turns that weight into something cathartic, relatable, and surprisingly empowering. ALEXIS explains what it feels like to give up parts of yourself because someone else is unstable, and the moment of realization that comes when you gain perspective.
The songwriting team does a great job of capturing this emotional landscape by combining storytelling, relatable details, and a catchy melody that makes the song perfect for fans of modern alt-pop with an edge. The song has sharp production by Aidan Hogg (G Flip, The Beaches) and polished mixing and mastering by Liam Quinn (Peach PRC, Ruel). Hogg creates a soundscape that is both close and explosive, with ethereal textures, sharp percussion, and a chorus that expresses both frustration and freedom. Quinn's mixing and mastering make the song better, giving it the polish of a potential playlist favorite.
In "u sure like to make me feel crazy," ALEXIS further solidifies her artistic identity with confidence and emotional clarity. This piece is for people who have ever questioned their reality in a relationship and for those who are ready to get their sense of self back. This release is raw, engaging, and very human, making ALEXIS one of the most interesting new voices in pop.
