Music video

Shot at the Redondo Beach Power Station in California, the music video for "(You Drive Me) Crazy" begins with Spears as a waitress in a restaurant. She goes and changes into a shining green top and black pants (as seen on the single cover above), and then begins an extensive dance scene. Next, she climbs up onto a stage and sings; behind her, the word "CRAZY" is seen shining in bright orange. Actors Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier make cameo appearances in the video as well, due to the fact that the song was remixed, used in, and made to promote their film, Drive Me Crazy. The video also appeared over the end credits of the season four premiere episode of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, also starring Hart, in an episode that Spears also guest starred in.

Chart performance

"Crazy" became Spears' second top-10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #10 for one week, thanks to the heavy airplay it received; the song peaked at number six on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, the highest of any Spears single.
