As Valentine’s Day inches closer, Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum says the song “Crazy Love” off their latest album, Ocean, sums up what it’s like to love him.

Kelley admits, “I’m tough to handle at times. I can be as fun as anybody can be and then I can be as dark and reclusive as anybody can be and push people away when I’m at my worst.”

Charles co-wrote “Crazy Love” with Nathan Chapman, and he says, “It’s kind of my little love letter to my wife… She puts up with a lot. Same thing with David and Hillary. [So it’s] like thanks for sticking by me and thank God for crazy love, cause you got to be crazy as hell to be with me.”

Lady A just announced the follow up single to their #1 song, “What If I Never Get Over You,” will be “What I’m Leaving For,” off of their Ocean project.
