Background
According to the song's producers Carvin & Ivan, the song was originally offered to Dru Hill member Larry "Jazz" Anthony who was set to record a solo album for Def Jam Recordings. He initially refused on recording the song for his solo debut, rejecting the sample of Charlie Byrd's "Vivre Pour Vivre" in favor of wanting it played with live instruments. Anthony then dropped the song from his album and "Halfcrazy" was later rewritten with new verses by Musiq for his album Juslisen.[6]
