David Archuleta Crush Single Review :

By James W. Coates,

David Cook may have whisked the American Idol crown away from hopeful David Archuleta, but that hasn't stopped this young pop prince from fading away. Months before Cook releases his debut album, Archuleta has unleashed his first single "Crush" upon the listening public, to the thrill of his many adoring fans.

The track, an up-tempo pop ditty of limited depth, marks a departure of sorts for Archuleta who braced television screens in millions of American homes this winter with an onslaught of emotional ballads that pigeonholed the budding star.

Breaking out from that genre allows Archuleta to conquer new territory - the danceable pop song - a feat he attempted in the latter stages of the contest with his lukewarm rendition of Chris Brown's "With You".

In a similar style to fellow American Idol finalist and 2007's winner, Jordan Sparks on her first single proper, "Tattoo", "Crush" sees Archuleta getting a grip on his age and maturity level.

Instead of singing big time ballads that proved too much for his tender age of 17 on American Idol, "Crush", brings the lyrical level down to a more manageable approach, dealing with a key subject for his peer group - precisely, is this girl into me or are we just friends? "Has it ever crossed your mind / when we're hanging, spending time, girl / we're just friends girl / is there more, is there more," Archuleta sings convincingly, if not a little star-crossed.

Hearing Archuleta create a pop song of his own is a blessing in disguise. "Crush" may not win any Grammy's or secure his place in the rock and roll hall of fame, but for a fun, if not disposable late summer pop ditty, it should dominate the airwaves for a few weeks until heavy hitters such as Pink and Cook release their anticipated new albums.

David Archuleta - Crush



David Archuleta Crush Lyrics



[Verse 1]
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside..
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know..

[Chorus]
Do you ever think when your all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cuz I try and try to walk away,
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

Has it ever cross your mind
When we're hangin spending time girl
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last,
Last forever, forever

[Chorus]

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know..

Do you ever think when your all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cuz I try and try to walk away,
But I know this crush ain't goin away x5
