Crawl (Chris Brown song)
Encyclopedia
"Crawl" is a song by American recording artist Chris Brown. It is the second single from his third studio album Graffiti
, released as a digital download on November 24, 2009. The song was produced by The Messengers and was written by Nasri Atweh, Adam Messinger
, Luke Boyd, and Brown. The song is about yearning to rebuild a failed relationship and was interpreted by critics as being about Brown's former relationship with Barbadian
singer Rihanna
. However, Brown has stated the song is not about any of his previous relationships.
The song received positive to mixed reviews. It charted in the top twenty in Japan and New Zealand, and the top forty in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It peaked in the United States at number fifty-three. The accompanying music video features Brown and American R&B
singer Cassie as his love interest. In the video, he yearns for their relationship on a winter night in a city and in a desert scene. Brown performed the song on his 2009 Fan Appreciation Tour, and on BET
's SOS: Help for Haiti Telethon, which benefited victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake
.
's ballad "Russian Roulette
" was also leaked. The song, which has been described as "melancholy", sees Brown singing about a relationship that has slipped out of his hands with its chorus calling for an "incremental reconciliation" of the unspecified relationship. Jayson Rodriguez of MTV News
noted that both "Crawl" and Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" would inevitably be interpreted as being about Brown and Rihanna's relationship. Bill Lamb of About.com
agreed, stating that a "casual listen would seem to indicate both songs may be related to the couple's relationship that ended early this year with a domestic assault." Lamb went on to point out that, while Rihanna "took a very dark route in exploring the violence", Chris Brown's approach was lighter and expressed hope that the relationship could begin again."
In an interview with MTV News, Brown stated that the song is not about Rihanna or any of his previous relationships. He called the message of the song "universal", and not just about love but "any type of heartache." About the track he said, "When I heard the whole concept and everything I was like, 'Yo, this is crazy. So being able to express the feelings, it was like, probably one of the best [records I've done.] But it was more than me trying to do a record that meant crawl to love, crawl back to love. Meaning whether it's from your negative situations, whether it's from any problems you've dealt with, like anybody's situation." Although he stated his concept for the song was about love, he said for anybody, the song could be "inspired as far it being the war or a death in the family, whether it's anything, anybody just crawl back to love."
of the Chicago Tribune
said the song was one of several on parent album Graffiti
that "flirt with a public apology." Kot went on to state that a "funeral organ" hovers over the song, and "the narrator longs for a second chance: "'So where do we go from here/With all of this fear in your eyes?'" Jon Caramanica of The New York Times
said that both "Crawl" and another song from Graffiti, "So Cold", come off as "thoughtful, even if they're not quite mea culpa
s" and further suggested that "In these moments Mr. Brown is pining, mildly apologetic." Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly
called the song a "genuinely affecting second single", and stated that "Less forgiving listeners" looking for "signs of contrition" may find them on the track. Dan Gennoe of Yahoo! Music UK
said that, of the six tracks on the album's deluxe edition that could be interpreted as dealing with Brown's relationship with Rihanna
directly, "Crawl" is "by far the most catchily contrite." Rap-Up
said that the song shows Brown "taking baby steps back to love and into the spotlight," and said that it found Brown "longing to mend a broken relationship" as in his 2008 Jordin Sparks
collaboration, “No Air
”.

, who also worked with Brown on the "I Can Transform Ya
" and "Forever
" videos. The video features American R&B
singer Cassie as Brown's love interest. Kahn had previously directed the video for Britney Spears
's 2008 'comeback' song, "Womanizer
", after her public breakdown. In an interview with MTV News
, Kahn said, "I seem to be the guy that record companies go to when they need help," he joked. "I truly feel [Brown] is remorseful. You don't drop people just because they made a mistake (even if it was a big mistake)."
Kahn said that the entire idea for the video was Brown's: "It's an interesting video for me, because it's so rare that music videos ever try to achieve anything emotional. Chris just basically told me a story of what he felt this video was going to be, with his heart glowing and how he's, like, cold. It is a very personal story. But it's told in such a graphic manner that I fell in love with the idea. It's Chris' story. Period. I am the pencil that put it down on the paper." When comparing the song's video to that of "I Can Transform Ya", the director said, "'Crawl' is my favorite one, because — gosh, I'm going to let you in on this — 'cause it's probably his most personal thing he's ever done." He went on to say, "I mean, everything that's happened to him in the year, I think this is going to be his big statement, in terms of what he's feeling and what he's living through right now." When talking about the ideas and concepts of the video, Kahn said that the video, his first ballad with Brown, should speak for itself through the ideas that he had and the "genesis" of what that idea was.
On November 2, 2009, several stills from the video were released onto the internet. The photos focused on two sets of the video, a desert location, and a snow and puddle-spotted alleyway. In both settings, Brown wears the same thick black glasses, brown leather trench coat, white t-shirt, and fingerless gloves, among other attire. Cassie appears in a photo from the alleyway scenes, as the desert scenes show Brown in "deep contemplation". The video first aired on The Wendy Williams Show
on Friday, November 13, 2009, when Brown was a guest on the show. The video opens with Brown sitting on an edge of a bed wearing a plain white t-shirt. As the music begins and he starts singing, his heart is shown lit up red and beating in his chest. The singer then walks into an alleyway on a winter's night, revealed in the air as he breathes. Brown walks past several storefronts, seeing images of Cassie broadcast on television. He then sees paparazzi taking photos of her, but she does not notice him. Brown is shown in a desert scene, and then returns to the winter night scene as Cassie sees him and they walk towards each other meeting face-to-face. They gather close, but Brown does not reel her in as the video ends. The music video ranked at forty-eight on the BET: Notarized Top 100 Videos of 2009 countdown.
's SOS Saving Ourselves: Hope for Haiti Telethon, to raise money for the country after the 2010 earthquake
that devastated the area. Eric Ditzian of MTV News
noted that although the song was rumored to be about Rihanna, "the lyrics also at times seemed to fit the evening's focus, like when Brown sang, "If we crawl till we can walk again/ Then we'll run until we're strong enough to jump."
