Song Review:: BoA: Crazier- Crazier

Image
Release Date: 2025 August 4 Album tracklist: Crazier , Healing Generation, It Takes Two, Don't Mind Me, How Could, What She Wants, Up And Down, Love Like This, Like I Like, Hit You Up, Clockwise Album runtime: 17 minutes  One of the Queens of K-Pop is back!

This song comes from BoA's tenth studio album, Better, released in 2020 to mark her twentieth anniversary. Eleven tracks, of which Start Over is the ninth, for a total of thirty-eight minutes. Produced by SM the Dude and Marcus Andersson (who has produced for LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, Demi Levato, and VCHA, among others) and written by Lee Seu Ran (who has written for BTS, TxT, IVE, Everglow, NCT, Super Junior, and GOT7, among others), Rosi...
