"Drowning" was the one single from Crazy Town's second album, Darkhorse, that made any noise, a minor hit in several countries when the rap-rock crew's record came out on Columbia in November 2002. The band had wanted to make it in 2001 but dithered over producers, weighing Rick Rubin against Don Gilmore, and by the time they settled on Howard Benson it was 2002; recording and mixing ran from April to August.
Benson produced with the band as co-producers, Mike Plotnikoff engineered, and Chris Lord-Alge mixed, while the writing credit is split five ways between Seth Brooks Binzer, Bret "Epic" Mazur, Doug Miller, Krayge Tyler and Anthony Valli. Darkhorse fell well short of their debut, The Gift of Game, and Sony/Columbia dropped the band in 2003.
