Initially an obscure single, it was brought to light by mainstream acts such as The Swinging Blue Jeans and Tages, the latter of which charted in Sweden with it.
[12] In 1966, they had released three singles; "So Many Girls", "I'll Be Doggone" and "In My Dreams", the latter of which proved to be Tages biggest hit throughout their career, reaching number 1 on both Kvällstoppen and Tio i Topp in August 1966.
[13][14] This was during the peak of their success in Sweden, both commercially, critically and influentially, as they were experimenting with recording their second studio album Tages 2, which blends both original compositions and covers.
[15] "Crazy 'Bout My Baby" was chosen to be recorded for the album, and the arrangement seems to be heavily inspired by the Swinging Blue Jeans version which was released almost a year prior, as it incorporates a similar song structure during the solo.
[10] "Crazy 'Bout My Baby" was eventually released on Tages 2 through Platina Records on 4 August 1966, approximately during the same time "In My Dreams" peaked on the charts.
