The official music video for "Crazy for You" was directed by J. Lee Williams and Timur Musabay, and premiered on February 14, 2014.[6] In the clip, the band members are locked in a psychiatric hospital, from which they escape and subsequently go on the run, whereupon they discover that the world outside is different than they remember.[7][8] The video was nominated for the Post-Production Video of the Year at the 2014 MMVAs, but it lost to City and Colour's "Thirst".[6]
