"Goin' Crazy" is a song by Dizzee Rascal, featuring vocals from English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams. The song was written and produced by Tim Anderson and Jamin "J-Man" Wilcox, with additional production by Nick Cage, and co-written by Dizzee Rascal.^[1] The song was released on 16 June 2013 as a digital download in the United Kingdom as the lead single from his fifth studio album The Fifth (2013). Dizzee originally had producers Jamin Wilcox and Tim Anderson singing the chorus but the label wanted Robbie Williams as a better business option due to his notoriety. Wilcox however did sing on the song "Life keeps moving on.^[2]

Live performances

On 24 May 2013, Dizzee Rascal surprised fans at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Ebrington Square, Derry, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, by performing the song live with a special guest performance from Robbie Williams.^[3]

Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed review stating:

"In short, the answer is an unfortunate yes. That's not to say the pair themselves aren't surprisingly well-matched – each craving the other's self-assurance and youthful charm – but musically, the effect is far less harmonious. While Rascal raps about dating models and scoring drugs in clubs, Williams admits: "I believe I'm going crazy/ I believe I'm losing my mind," the result a Frankensteinian blend of indie, grime and pop that never quite hits the spot." .^[4]
