About This Track
“I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” is a song by Irish rock band U2 and the fifth track from their 2009 album No Line On The Horizon. It was released as the album’s third single in a digital format on 25 August 2009, with a physical version released on 7 September 2009. Two music videos were made, one directed by David O’Reilly, and one by Alex Courtes.
The band collaborated with will.i.am in the creation of the track. It was first developed by Brian Eno under the title “Diorama” during a break in the recording sessions. The band reworked the track under the new title of “Crazy Tonight” before retitling it again as “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight”. Several of the song’s lyrics were influenced by Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Bono stated to Q magazine that the lyrics ” like a T-shirt slogan to me”, also noting that it was No Line On The Horizon’s equivalent to “Beautiful Day”.
The song was used in television commercials for a new Blackberry application, called the “U2 Mobile App”, which was developed as part of Research in Motion’s sponsorship of the U2 360° Tour.
“I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” was first played on 4 March 2009 on the Late Show with David Letterman, one of three performances of the song during the No Line On The Horizon promotional touring. Redanka’s “Kick the Darkness” remix of the song was played throughout the U2 360° Tour, with the exception of a concert in Barcelona where it was performed two times.

Nie potrafisz obronić U2, to nie ubliżaj mi chociaż, to moje zdanie i mam do tego prawo, U2 zrobiło się niczym zespół komercyjny który za najwyższy cel ma pomaganie biednym a nie robienie dobrej muzyki, niech biorą przykład z Depeche Mode czy Iron Maiden, bo U2 w wersji rozrywkowej w ogóle do mnie nie przemawia.

Ta piosenka to upadek U2, niech dalej pozer Bono pajacuje z murzynami i niech zagra na zaprzysiężenie Komorowskiego jak piesek, Obamie zagrali to czemu by nie pójść dalej? U2 z wielkiego zespołu zrobiło się nie unikalnym zespołem i popowym oczywiście
