Zachary Knowles, seated at his keyboard, ironically sings about a tale that is far from solitary. His song, “CRUSH,” narrates the overwhelming, elating, and powerful emotions of having a crush. This piano-led ballad is charged with emotion, gently pulling at the heartstrings while exploring the consuming nature of falling deeply in love. It is both poignant and soothingly warm, creating an ambiance that satisfies both our romance and sad girl playlists. “CRUSH” has quickly become our new go-to track, played on loop for the foreseeable future.
Sharing his personal insight into the track, Knowles reveals, “I think one of the best feelings is when you have a crush on someone and find out the feelings are mutual. What’s crazier is when you’ve been with someone for years, and they still give you those initial feelings you had when they were just a crush. Those are the feelings I wanted to channel when I wrote this song.”
