Useful detail

Performance tip

#1 Crush needs one clear preparation choice: map the verse order carefully because the lyric gives you relatively few repeated lines as landmarks. For #1 Crush, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

#1 Crush is worth singing if a consistent emotional point of view comes naturally to you. Expect more changing verse text than repeated hook material and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
