"Crazy Kids" is a song by American singer Kesha. It was released on April 29, 2013, as the third and final single from her second album Warrior (2012), with will.i.am or Juicy J as the featured artist depending on the version. An additional remix surfaced online featuring Pitbull. The lyrics were written by Kesha with assistance with Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco, Cirkut, who also helmed production of the track. Each featured artist wrote their own contribution.
Featuring whistling, the song is of the synthpop and hip hop genres. A music video for the track premiered on MTV on May 28, 2013, followed by the finale of her television documentary, Kesha: My Crazy Beautiful Life. The song was met with mixed reviews upon release, with will.i.am's addition to the song being criticized, while positive reactions for the music video followed, accompanied by comparisons between her Riff Raff and Brooke Candy.
Worldwide, the song has reached moderate success. The record peaked at 27 in the UK Singles Chart. In the United States, the song entered Billboard Hot 100 at number 59 and peaked at number 40 and entered the Mainstream Top 40 at number 22, eventually peaking at number 19. The record reached 14 in the charts in both Ireland and Lebanon. "Crazy Kids" is also certified Platinum in the US and Australia.

The song was recorded for Kesha's second album, Warrior. Kesha stated that the track is this album's version of her 2010 single "We R Who We R".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/massive-beats-wild-nights-and-crazy-tattoos-ke-ha-rocks-out-on-new-album-20120720|title=Massive Beats, Wild Nights and Crazy Tattoos: Kesha rocks out on new album|magazine=Rolling Stone}} She recorded the song in June 2012.
will.i.am was in a nearby recording studio when he heard Luke, Blanco and Cirkut working with Kesha on the track, and immediately wanted to get involved. He co-wrote the album version and later wrote and recorded a new verse for himself, hoping he would be the featured artist in the song. Initially the record label decided not to include his verse; however, later his verse was included in the single/remix version of the song. It officially impacted contemporary hit radio on April 29, 2013, and rhythmic contemporary radio on May 7, 2013.{{Cite magazine|date=April 29, 2013|title=FMQB: Radio Industry News, Music Industry Updates, Arbitron Ratings, Music News and more!|url=https://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=16691|magazine=FMQB|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130424132114/https://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=16691|archive-date=April 24, 2013}}{{Cite magazine|year=2013|title=FMQB: Radio Industry News, Music Industry Updates, Arbitron Ratings, Music News and more!|url=https://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=74389|magazine=FMQB|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130723053727/https://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=74389|archive-date=July 23, 2013}} It was made available for purchase as a digital download on April 30, 2013.{{cite web|title=Amazon.com: Crazy Kids: Ke$ha featuring will.i.am|url=https://www.amazon.com/Crazy-Kids/dp/B00CG3HEFI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1366908681&sr=8-3&keywords=kesha+crazy+kids|work=Amazon.com|access-date=July 21, 2013|date=April 30, 2013}} will.i.am produced two other tracks whilst working with Luke, Blanco and Cirkut; they appear on will.i.am's album #willpower.{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a396616/keha-new-album-is-coming-soon.html|title=Ke$ha: 'New album is coming soon'|website=Digital Spy |date=August 1, 2012}}
The second official remix, which features rapper Pitbull, follows the same formula as the will.i.am remix. As with the first remix, the song's second verse removed in favor of Pitbull's new verse and also includes Pitbull speaking during the intro.

The A.V. Club writer Annie Zaleski said: "On the acoustic guitar-driven choruses, she's sweet and melancholy as she reveals her insanity; on the electronic-dipped verses, she unloads snappy hip-hop boasts ("I'm no virgin or no Virgo / I'm crazy that's my word, though") to assert herself."{{cite web|last=Rogulewski|first=Charley|title=NEW MUSIC: Ke$ha – "Crazy Kids"|url=http://www.vibe.com/article/new-music-keha-crazy-kids|work=VIBE|publisher=Vibe magazine|access-date=July 21, 2013|date=November 25, 2012}} Over hip hop dub beats, Kesha raps "coochie" with "Gucci", drops several f-bombs, and contributes her famous sing-rap style vocals in addition to traditional singing.{{cite magazine|title=Ke$ha, 'Warrior': Track-By-Track Review|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/review/1066721/keha-warrior-track-by-track-review|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|access-date=March 22, 2013}} The song prominently features whistling in several areas.{{cite magazine|last=Lipshutz|first=Jason|title=Ke$ha's 'Crazy Kids' Hits The Web: Listen|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/474033/kehas-crazy-kids-hits-the-web-listen|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|access-date=July 16, 2013|date=November 24, 2012}}

The official music video for "Crazy Kids" was filmed on May 9, 2013. The music video was released on May 28, 2013, and was uploaded in her YouTube Vevo account on May 29, 2013.{{cite web|title=Ke$ha is a Crazy Kid in new video |url=http://blog.muchmusic.com/keha-is-a-crazy-kid-in-new-video/ |work=MuchMusic |publisher=Bell Media |access-date=July 16, 2013 |date=May 31, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222000918/http://blog.muchmusic.com/keha-is-a-crazy-kid-in-new-video/ |archive-date=February 22, 2014 }}
In the video Kesha wore large platform shoes and gold-rimmed sunglasses, as well as golden heart-shaped earrings.{{cite web|title=Ke$ha Shows Off Dramatic New Look For 'Crazy Kids' Music Video|url=http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/kesha/news/crazy-kids-music-video-new-look/|work=Capital FM|publisher=Global Radio|access-date=July 16, 2013|date=May 10, 2013}} The video contains a scene where Kesha is flanked by chocolate-colored pit bulls, which Liza Darwin of MTV compared to the opening scene of the video for Lana Del Rey's song "Born to Die". In that video, Del Rey is situated between two Bengal tigers. Darwin also commented on Kesha's grill, comparing it to similar attire worn by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.
Critical reception
The song received mixed reviews from critics. The Huffington Post stated that: "in addition to sporting pastel cornrows, [Kesha] wore an outfit that could only be described as ...interesting... her light ink corset under a plaid shirt, [along with] denim hot [daisy dukes] paired with white thigh-high stockings evokes a Christina Aguilera in her 'Your Body'" video, meets James Franco in 'Spring Breakers' vibe".{{cite web|title=Ke$ha Films 'Crazy Kids' Video Looking Like A Thrift Store Threw Up On Her (PHOTOS)|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/10/kesha-crazy-kids-video_n_3254540.html|work=The Huffington Post|publisher=AOL|access-date=16 July 2013|date=10 May 2013}} About the video, Kesha tweeted the following: "Just wait until you see what these super sweet biker dudes are doing in my video".{{cite web|last=Johnson|first=Zach|title=Ke$ha Rocks Cornrows, Kooky Glasses on "Crazy Kids" Music Video Set|url=http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/kesha-rocks-cornrows-kooky-glasses-on-crazy-kids-music-video-set-2013105#ixzz2TEpT9bmH|work=Us Weekly|publisher=Wenner Media LLC|access-date=16 July 2013|date=10 May 2013}} PopCrush blogged about the video, saying: "clearly, Kesha, who is quite pretty, is going for the dork look, like Katy Perry did in her 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' video. But instead of a headgear-and-braces-wearing nerd, she's more of a gangsta geek".{{cite web|last=Sciarretto|first=Amy|title=Kesha Nerds Out in Glasses + Cornrows on Set of 'Crazy Kids' Video|url=http://popcrush.com/kesha-glasses-cornrows-crazy-kids-video-pics/|work=PopCrush|access-date=16 July 2013|date=10 May 2013}} Calling the video "an invitation to a lazy-Sunday house party", Canada's MuchMusic wrote that Kesha's "ghetto fabulous" hair and the Hells Angels bikers make the video complete, and that they "loved it". MTV called Kesha's look "eye-popping couture", suggesting the sunglasses as being inspired by Elton John and the braids by fellow rappers Riff Raff{{cite web|last=Vena|first=Jocelyn|title=Ke$ha Borrowed Riff Raff's 'Gangsta' Cornrows For 'Crazy Kids'|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1708190/kesha-crazy-kids-gangster-style.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130713041356/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1708190/kesha-crazy-kids-gangster-style.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 13, 2013|work=MTV|publisher=Viacom|access-date=16 July 2013|date=30 May 2013}} and Brooke Candy.{{cite web|last=Darwin|first=Liza|title=Ke$ha's 'Crazy Kids Ft.

Dobbins wrote: "She keeps waving it around, too, just to make sure that you see it and get mildly anxious about her Illuminati associations." Conversely, Dobbins suggested Kesha is serving consumers the Illuminati angle to snag more views, as Billboard and other mainstream music critics reported with the music video for "Die Young".{{cite magazine|last=Lipshutz|first=Jason|title=Ke$ha Shouts-Out Illuminati in 'Die Young' Video: Watch|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/474261/keha-shouts-out-illuminati-in-die-young-video-watch|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|access-date=November 9, 2012}}{{cite web|last=Warner|first=Kara|title=Ke$ha's 'Die Young' Vid: Wolves, Golden Tooth, Illuminati Galore!|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1697028/kesha-die-young-video-scenes.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110202441/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1697028/kesha-die-young-video-scenes.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 10, 2012|work=MTV|publisher=Viacom|access-date=21 July 2013|date=8 November 2012}}{{cite web|last=Blair|first=Kevin|title=Ke$ha's 'Die Young' Video Is Full Of Occult Symbolism, Groping And A Touch Of Evil|url=http://www.starpulse.com/news/Kevin_Blair/2012/11/08/kehas_die_young_video_is_full_of_occul|work=Star|publisher=American Media, Inc.|access-date=21 July 2013|date=8 November 2012}}{{Dead link|date=March 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{cite web|last=Anitai|first=Tamar|title=9 Extremely Illuminati GIFs From Ke$ha's 'Die Young' Video|url=http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/11/08/kesha-die-young-video-illuminatigifs/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110215419/http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/11/08/kesha-die-young-video-illuminatigifs|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 10, 2012|work=MTV|publisher=Viacom|access-date=21 July 2013|date=8 November 2012}} MTV reported a similar position, noticing a trend with the singer and ocular-themed accessories, namely nail art.{{cite web|last=Flitsch|first=Byron|title=Ke$ha's Awesome Eyeball Nails Look Pretty Illuminati To Us|url=http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/01/24/kesha-illuminati-manicure-nails-photo/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130127064413/http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/01/24/kesha-illuminati-manicure-nails-photo/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 27, 2013|work=MTV Buzzworthy|publisher=Viacom|access-date=21 July 2013}} Paper blogger Abby Schreiber said: "Never one for subtlety, Ke$ha rocks...an Illuminati tattoo on her hand...."{{cite web|last=Schreiber|first=Abby|title=Ke$ha Shows Off Her Illuminati Tattoos, Will.i.am Wears a Holographic Space Suit in "Crazy Kids"|url=http://www.papermag.com/2013/05/keha_shows_off_her_illuminati.php|work=Paper|publisher=Paper Publishing Inc.|access-date=July 21, 2013}}
During their critique of Warrior, Billboard said 'Crazy Kids' displayed Kesha at "her most take-it-or-leave it" and called the beats "grimy". Considering her vocals on "Crazy Kids" as some of the singer's best, Billboard called the chorus a "sing-a-long". Critics compared the track to "Like a G6" by the Far East Movement.
Critics unfavorably reviewed will.i.am's addition to the song. Spin's Mark Hogan said will.i.am's verse delivers "cheap crassness," but praised Kesha's solo version, stating that her "charisma is enough for you to keep from flipping the dial."{{cite web|title=Ke$ha and will.i.am's Whistling, Whispering 'Crazy Kids' Is All Too Sane|url= https://www.spin.com/2013/04/kesha-william-crazy-kids-stream/|work=SPIN|publisher=Spin Media|access-date=July 16, 2013|format=Web|date=April 19, 2013}} Hogan also added that while "Crazy Kids" was inferior to will's Britney Spears' collaboration, "Scream & Shout", the song was destined for mainstream top 40 success.
The Honesty Hour ran an article stating that the original was "fine" without the additional verse, but that will.i.am can "only help the song" commercially.{{cite web|url=http://thehonestyhour.com/2013/04/new-music-kesha-crazy-kids-feat-will-i-am/|title=Gordon Media Company Blog|date=August 22, 2019 }}{{unreliable source?|date=May 2013}}
