LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bella Poarch, a popular TikTok user, released the fascinating 'Dolls' EP last year, and whose title track had a bizarre music video with Grimes, Madison Beer and other celebrities. She has now made a musical comeback with the song and video for 'Crush.'

The light, cheeky song showcases Poarch's playful side, highlighting the flirty feeling of butterflies in the stomach. Lauv, praised for being a sweet artist, praised Poarch's ability to work with him and expressed his happiness with the release. The new song, however, disappointed Poarch's fans.

Lauv stated, “'Crush’ is about that feeling when you’re into someone but don’t wanna cross the line ’cause it’s so fun just being slightly into them. I wrote this song in Thailand with some amazing songwriters and when Bella wanted to record it."

He went on to say, "I was so excited to hear her take on it. Love singing with her and so happy ‘Crush’ is finally out!”
