After self-financing an EP and a music video, Dahlia was brought to the attention of veteran record executive Sylvia Rhone by A&R representative Amanda Berkowitz. In 2012, describing Dahlia as "more than just a pop artist," Rhone signed her to her newly-launched label, Vested In Culture (VIC), a joint venture with Epic Records. Dahlia's debut album is set to come out in 2013, and will be VIC's inaugural release.
Dahlia's first single and video for VIC is the track "Gangsta", which MTV called "filled to the brim with fierce rapping". Shot in Miami, the video for "Gangsta" reflects the difficulties of her earlier life. The video, which was directed by Samantha Lecca, premiered on Vevo on March 5, 2013, and Dahlia was selected as a BET "Music Matters" artist.
Dahlia digitally released three songs, "Gangsta", "Money Party", and "Mirror" on March 5, 2013.
Crazy
Kat Dahlia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I tell you to leave, when I tell you go?
Is it crazy that I say your name
More times a day than I say my own?
Tell me, baby, is it crazy?
Tell me, baby, is it crazy?
Is it crazy when you're gone for a minute?
Is it crazy that I'm jealous of them bitches
When they get your time and I know it's wrong?
But tell me is it crazy?
Yeah, I need to know if it's crazy
Damn
'Cause I ain't been myself
Lately somethings going on
Nah boy, I ain't even slept
I been up all night long
In my head
Tryna figure out what I want, what I do, what I don't
Is it crazy all them answers is you?
Tell me 'cause it's blowing my mind
Tell me 'cause I don't understand
How someone just can walk into your life
And everything before them you forget
Is it crazy?
Tell me what's going on, I need to know
'Cause I ain't tryna lose myself or lose control
Baby, tell me the truth, I need to know
Is it crazy?
Baby, is it crazy?
Is it crazy that I told my ex
Don't call no more 'cause I'm in love?
Is it crazy that I keep your shirt
Right here just to smell your cologne?
Damn, that sounds crazy
Tell me is it crazy
'Cause I ain't been myself
Lately somethings going on
Nah boy, I ain't even slept
I been up all night long
In my head
Tryna figure out what I want, what I do, what I don't
Is it crazy all them answers is you?
Tell me 'cause it's blowing my mind
Tell me 'cause I don't understand
How someone just can walk into your life
And everything before them you forget
Is it crazy?
Is it crazy? (Crazy)
Is it crazy? (Crazy)
Is it crazy? Tell me is it crazy?
Is it crazy?
Is it crazy?
Well, if it is I'll just be crazy for you
Baby, 'cause it's blowing my mind
Tell me 'cause I don't understand
How someone just can walk into your life
And everything before them you forget
I'm crazy, crazy, crazy for you
I'm crazy, crazy, crazy for you
