"Crush on You" is the second single released in 1986 from the Jets' debut album The Jets. 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 hit single 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.
Music video
In the music video, filmed on December 26, 1985, the Jets play the song and dance to it. It was directed by Stephen Rivkin and produced by Darrell Brand. Unlike the album version, which is 4:30, the music video version is shortened to 3:41. 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."

=In addition to Aaron Carter, his older brother Nick makes a cameo at the beginning of the video, where he consoles Aaron when he confides that the girl he has a crush on is only into athletes, specifically basketball, football players and weightlifters, which Aaron refers to as "muscle men". Before he leaves, Nick tells his younger brother to not worry about the other guys and to just be himself, saying that girls like that because he "knows these things".
After his brother leaves, Aaron finds a poster advertising a talent show taking place in the park, where he performs the song for the crowd. He also meets his crush while she watches some boys playing basketball, which leads Aaron to try to get her attention, which he cannot seem to do as she does not even acknowledge his presence. Even as he notices the girl flirting with some boys playing football, he is still having no luck and even imagines the football players she was with chasing him down as he is carrying the football. Unbeknownst to him, the first person he told about his crush told another person, and then another, playing a game of telephone until the news finally reaches the girl as he is performing. He seemingly wins the girl at the end as she kisses him on the cheek, but when another girl comes along with cotton candy in her hand, he decides to walk off with that other girl instead, leaving the original girl disappointed.
