"I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" sits fifth on U2's 2009 album No Line on the Horizon and became its third single, out digitally on 25 August and in shops on 7 September. It began life as a Brian Eno sketch called "Diorama", made during a break in the sessions, turned into "Crazy Tonight" as the band worked it over, and only then picked up its full, unwieldy title.
will.i.am helped shape it and took an additional production credit, adding keyboards alongside Terry Lawless, with Caroline Dale on cello and Cathy Thompson on violin. Bono wrote words partly inspired by Barack Obama's presidential campaign, said they read like a T-shirt slogan, and called it the album's answer to "Beautiful Day". Two videos were made, one by David O'Reilly and one by Alex Courtes.
