In this joyful song, Karen Carpenter is "on the top of the world, lookin' down on creation." Why is she flying high? Because she's crazy in love.
Richard Carpenter wrote this with John Bettis, a lyricist who wrote the words to several Carpenters' hits as well as Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" and The Pointer Sisters' "Slow Hand."
This originally showed up on the multi-platinum album A Song For You in June 1972. The song was released as a single in Japan in 1972 and went gold. At the same time, country artist Lynn Anderson ("I Never Promised You A Rose Garden") covered it and her version reached #1 on the Country chart. Finally, in September 1973, the Carpenters released the song as a single in the US and UK due to popular demand. It shot straight to #1 and became one of their best known hits.
