"Crush on You" is a song by Lil' Kim from her debut album Hard Core. The album version has Lil' Cease rapping alone, while the single version (dubbed the "remix") includes vocals by Lil' Kim. The song samples "Rain Dance" by Jeff Lorber.
Lil’ Kim’s "Hard Core" dropped in November 1996, and “Crush on You” was already a standout track. The music video built hype and kept "Hard Core" hot months after it dropped, proving Kim didn’t just serve bars, she served visuals that moved units.
