Son Little's 'Mad About You' is a soulful exploration of infatuation and heartbreak. The song captures the intense emotions that come with falling for someone at first sight, only to be left heartbroken and confused.

The song's narrative follows the singer's journey from the initial thrill of meeting someone special to the crushing realization that the relationship is not what he hoped it would be. The lines 'Call me crazy, when I see you baby' and 'Got a smile about you, something red wine about you' suggest an almost obsessive attraction, while the repeated refrain 'I'm mad about you' highlights the intensity of his emotions.

'Mad About You' is a poignant reflection on the highs and lows of love, capturing the vulnerability and intensity of human emotions in a beautifully crafted musical experience.
