By himself at his keyboard, Zachary Knowles ironically sings of a story that is far from lonely, instead narrating the overwhelming, elating and powerful feelings that come from having a “CRUSH”. Charged with emotion, the piano-led ballad pulls gently at the heartstrings while exploring the consuming nature of falling deeply in love — equally poignant yet soothingly warm. With an ambience that satisfies our romance and sad girl playlists simultaneously, “CRUSH” has become our new go-to track — played on loop for the foreseeable.

Delivering personal insight into the track, Knowles imparts, “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 that I wanted to channel when I wrote this song.”
