"crushcrushcrush" was the third single from Riot!, Paramore's second album, landing in late 2007 on Fueled by Ramen and Atlantic. Hayley Williams wrote it with Josh Farro, who adds his voice behind her lead, and David Bendeth produced and mixed it: pop-punk with the hooks filed to a point and Williams singing like she means every syllable.
It won a Teen Choice Award for Choice Rock Track, turned up in an NCIS episode called "Stakeout", and became a fixture of the plastic-guitar craze, playable in Rock Band, Rock Band Unplugged, Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades and Ultimate Band. It kept selling long after the moment, too, going platinum in the US in 2016.
