Track listing

Music video

The video was filmed in 2006 and was directed by Mike Cockayne. It shows a crowd of people in a nightclub waiting for Rebecca Rudd, the only barmaid, to serve them. She is singing the words to the song. When she sees a man she likes chatting to another woman she smashes a glass on the floor along with a bar full of glasses. She then climbs on to the bar, looking down on the crowd and still singing the song. She Jumps into the crowd and 'crowd surfs' on her back.

She is then on a small platform singing the song with two other dancers, while the crowd is dancing. The video then switches between Rebecca Rudd singing, the two dancers, the crowd dancing, and Rebecca Rudd 'crowd surfing' before it shows Rebecca Rudd cleaning up the empty bar (indicating her being left alone again) and a single dancer on the empty platform at the end of the video.

Trivia
  • The single was consistently mistitled as "Elysium - I Go Crazy" (i.e. a song called "I Go Crazy" by an artist or group called "Elysium"), leading to this being its name on playlists/charts from MTV Dance and similar stations. It is also mistitled as "Don't Leave Me Hangin'"; the name being taken from the lyrics of the single.
