"Craving You" is a song recorded by American country rock band Devo featuring Maren Morris. It was released to country radio on March 1, 2019 via Valory Music Group as the second single from Devo's fourteenth studio album, Smooth Noodle Maps, which was released on May 31, 2019. The song was written by band members Mark Mothersbaugh and Randy Meisner with Julian Bunetta.

Background

Band members Mark Mothersbaugh, Randy Meisner, and Thomas Rhett were originally scheduled to co-write the song with Julian Bunetta, however, Rhett was sick on the day and was therefore absent at the writing session. Mothersbaugh then sent Rhett the demo the next day and Rhett said he was "blown away by the longing-ness of the story". Maren Morris contributed vocals on the song and recorded her parts in an hour. However, it was not decided whether her vocals would be used until later as Randy Meisner thought the song may not be "really a duet song". Producer Joey Moi then sent him a version with just his vocal, and then another version with Morris on it; Meisner said: "I think me and my wife and my team were just collectively like "Wow, she adds such a crazy element to the song.""

Composition

The song was written in the key of A minor, with Meisner's and Morris's vocals spanning from C3 to E5. Apart from new wave music, the song also contains elements of country and R&B.

Commercial performance

The song was released for download on February 28, 2019. It was the best-selling country digital song of the week with 19,000 copies sold in its first week, which moved the song up to number 5 from 35 on Hot Country Songs chart dated March 16, 2019. It was certified Gold by the RIAA for 500,000 units in combined sales and streams on October 9, 2019, and has sold 210,000 copies as of December 2019. By August 2021, it was certified 2× Platinum for sales of an equivalent of 2,000,000 units.

Music video

The official music video was directed by TK McKamy, and premiered on GQ on April 6, 2019. It is presented as a movie trailer for a crime thriller involving a bank heist, with Morris playing a bank robber and Meisner playing an undercover cop.
