Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band

“Hike up your skirt a little more…”

Not exactly what you’d expect from a first dance song.

In this episode of Allison Unchained, Allison Hagendorf dives into the real story behind “Crash Into Me” by Dave Matthews Band—a ’90s classic that’s as sexy as it is romantic, and a little darker than it seems on the surface.

Released on Crash in 1996, the song helped propel the band into a massive run of success, leading to eight consecutive #1 albums and cementing their place as one of the defining bands of the era.

It’s a reminder that some songs live in that tension—between beauty and discomfort, desire and vulnerability—and that’s exactly what makes them unforgettable.
