During a recent appearance on Angela Yee’s podcast, ‘Way Up,’ Simi shared insights into the song’s inception, stating, “My husband gave me the idea for my song, ‘Men Are Crazy.’ He was like, ‘Babe, how about we do a song and you say men are crazy but I still want one in my bed?'”
Acknowledging the unexpected twist in lyrical content, Simi embraced the opportunity to collaborate with Tiwa Savage, recognizing their divergent musical paths but aspiring to fuse their talents for a cohesive outcome. Following Tiwa’s contribution to the track, the duo collaborated on the accompanying music video, further solidifying their creative synergy.
