"Crush on You" by the Jets on YouTube

"Crush on You" is a song by American band the Jets, released in 1986 as the second single from their eponymous debut album. The song reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the UK Singles Chart. Jerry Knight and Aaron Zigman co-wrote the song which put the Jets on the charts. The record was also given away in the UK in flexi disc format by being attached to the cover of Smash Hits magazine.[citation needed]

In the music video, filmed on December 26, 1985, the Jets play the song and dance to it. It was directed by Stephen Rivkin[2] and produced by Darrell Brand. Unlike the album version, which is 4:30, the music video version is shortened to 3:41.[3] In 2019, Brand uploaded an HD remaster of the music video to his personal YouTube channel as part of "a resume reel of [his] past work."
