Song and album are available here:

Lyrics:
Settle for her.
Come on just settle for her.
The smart, hot, sweet and mature
girl who doesn’t break the law!
Why do I feel she’s second place in this game?
It’s easy to see she’s perfect for me,
plus she’s not insane.

So it’s not settling for her
If she and I someday were
To say ‘I do’ and have some kids and be content!

But why do I feel that I want more?
Settling down is not settling for...
I’m on solid ground yet I’m reeling...
what’s unsettling is this feeling...

Despite it all if Rebecca called
I’d be there on bended knee.
Cause deep down I still hope
that maybe she’d settle for....

As much as I love Nathaniel, Mona really deserved better.

[linny]

“Despite it all, if Rebecca called..” That killed me. HIS VOICE OH MY GODD I LOVE IT AND THE WAY HE SANG IT GAVE ME SHIVERS I KEEP ON REPLAYING THE SAME PART

[fabiolean]

It still blows me away, how much song and dance talent they were able to pull together for this silly-ass wonderful show.

[cawmusic]

i LOVE when musicals have a “funny song” early on and then have a more serious reprise of it later on.

[BaileyVogtOut]

When I clicked on this video I assumed it was Mona singing to Nathaniel.

When I realized it wasn't, I couldn't stop thinking about how great a "Before He Cheats" fuck you single sung by Mona to end her arc. She deserved better and needed more closure than she received.

Other than the whole cheating thing, Nathaniel is honestly the most mature man Rebecca has been with. He may act immature but it's cuz he's literally never been in a strong serious relationship.

[HonorWillow]

It was better that this was cut. Just the tune for Settle for Me was perfect. It was subtle and we didn't need him to actually sing it.

[RAchbaby]

In the words of one Tyra Banks

“ WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU”

[beckhampang]

Omg this was

This explains why he was so fast in protecting her and believing she was innocent.
I mean its clear from context that he still loves her but this song expands on his feelings towards Mona as well.

[SkyWireMashups]

I agree that it's better that this song was cut, but I like hearing it post-episode, as it's kind of like a snapshot into his mind in that scene.

[lemi]

the way he sings "if Rebecca called" got me weak

[roxirock]

It is acknowledged in the show how Greg was ahead of Rebecca on his recovery path, but i think we need to talk how Nathalie was behind her. And how Rebecca dumping him in the finally was the best thing that could have happened because that made him look at his life and realized he didn't like anything in it besides her. His ending with him and the monkeys was honestly so adorable. He found his passion in life.

[ConanThreepwood]

Settle for me
Settle for me (Reprise)
Settle for her
(Don't) settle for me

Definitely my fave song of the show so far. So versatile and catchy

[ablurida]

Nathaniel is the best endgame if there needs to be a guy. He is only bad for Rebecca because of her own issues. Other than that I guess he did try to ruin Josh's family (Rebecca also hired someone to kill Mona so...) BUT Rebecca inspires him to heal himself, he is closer to his mother because of her suicide attempt, started being nicer to people (all of that without the help of a therapist and way faster than Rebecca), they have a lot in common, he listens to her and from what I can tell he is the only one who actually puts her first, even in bed (+ Trent I guess lol). So she is good for him and he'd be good for her, but unfortunately she needs to solve her obsessive behaviour first.

[supersqueak]

I liked Greg but they really were a shit show. As crazy as the relationship can be at least Rebecca kind of makes Nathaniel a better person. At least I think so not totally sure honestly.

[Thehouseoffail]

I love Nathaniel and I want his character to be eternally happy. But I'm glad he and Rebecca aren't together. Because she treats him like Josh treated her. And if you are the constantly reaching out in a relationship and getting ignored or rejected, then there is no way to reach a relationship that isn't emotionally abusive.

[hardcandy]

Of all the characters in Crazy GF, Mona is the most different in a way that she doesnt have quirks, or punchlines. In the show, even one time minor characters have funny line or weird characteristics. She doesnt even have much of personality, but not necessarily boring.

[lapindurand]

I love the end of the song "I hope she settles for me"

[natalie-cuto]

At first, Greg x Rebecca was endgame. Then he left, then it was Nathanial x Rebecca. Then Greg came back, and it was still Nathanial x Rebecca because Greg wasn’t Greg, and didn’t feel like Greg. Don’t get me wrong, I love Skylar Austin, but he didn’t have that Greg quality Santino had.

This song is so perfect - wish it hadn't been cut!
