I never wanna get you alone (Hmm)
I'm scared of even standin' too close, babe (Yeah)
Get nervous when you light up my phone
But I like it
Yeah, I like it
[Pre-Chorus: Bella Poarch]
In the car (In the car)
On the beach (What you mean?)
Lookin' at you when you look back at me (Look back at me)
Feel my heart (Feel my heart)
Skip a beat (Ooh)
Think you know what I mean
[Chorus: Bella Poarch]
But I don't wanna say too much, I don't wanna fuck this up
Why would we fall in love when it feels so good to touch?
Feel the way my cheeks go blush
Why would we fall in love when it feels so good to crush?
Crush
Crush (Ha, ha, ha)
When it feels so good, ooh
[Verse 2: Lauv & Bella Poarch]
Love Island is my favorite show
If we were on, I'd givе you a rose, babe
Blow kisses, turn around and go homе (Ah-ah)
'Cause I like it (I like it)
Yeah, I like it (Ooh)
In the car (In the car)
On the beach (On the beach)
Lookin' at you when you look back at me (Ooh)
Feel my heart (Feel my heart)
Skip a beat (Skip a beat)
Think you know what I mean
[Chorus: Bella Poarch & Lauv, Bella Poarch]
But I don't wanna say too much, I don't wanna fuck this up (Babe)
Why would we fall in love when it feels so good to touch?
Feel the way my cheeks go blush (Ooh)
Why would we fall in love when it feels so good to crush? (Crush)
Crush (Crush)
Crush
When it feels so good, ooh
[Bridge: Bella Poarch & Lauv]
Tell me you're nervous when we say goodnight
Am I on your mind like you're on my mind?
Tell me you're nervous, lookin' in my eyes
Am I on your mind like you're on my mind?
[Chorus: Bella Poarch & Lauv]
I don't wanna say too much, I don't wanna fuck this up
Why would we fall in love when it feels so good to touch?
Feel the way my cheeks go blush (Blush)
Why would we fall in love when it feels so good to (To)
Crush?
Crush
Crush
When it feels so good to
Crush?
Crush (Okay)
Crush
'Cause it feels so good, ooh

Bella Porarch:
‘Crush’ is this fun, brighter side of me that I’m excited to showcase. The song itself is light, cheeky, and it gives you the flirty feeling of butterflies in your stomach that you get when sparks begin to fly.
It’s about being in the moment and indulging in the simple things like binging Love Island, or having an innocent crush without overthinking it (which I’m guilty of). Lauv is such an incredible artist and being able to work with him is such an honor. He’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and I LAUVed working with him.
LAUV:
‘Crush’ is about that feeling when you’re into someone but don’t wanna cross the line cause it’s so fun just being slightly into them. Love singing with [Bella] and so happy ‘Crush’ is finally out!
