Haiz (stylized as HΔIZ) is the debut extended play (EP) by American actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld. It was released on November 13, 2015, by Republic Records. The EP was preceded by the lead single, "Love Myself", which has reached the top 40 on multiple international singles charts. The second single, "Rock Bottom", featuring the band DNCE was released on February 27, 2016.
The EP received mixed to positive reviews upon release and achieved modest commercial success in North America. Critics described the record as "fun" and empowering but felt that Steinfeld lacked personality. It debuted at number 38 on the Canadian Albums Chart and number 57 on the US Billboard 200. The Japanese edition debuted at number 76 on the Oricon album chart in 2016.
In 2015, Steinfeld starred as Emily Junk, in the musical comedy film Pitch Perfect 2, where she debuted her musical aspirations. She also released an acoustic cover of "Flashlight", a song featured in the film and performed by English singer Jessie J on the soundtrack. A week after the film's premiere, Steinfeld announced that she had signed a recording contract with Republic Records and planned to released a single that summer. Mattman & Robin, Captain Cuts, Harvey Mason, Jr., and The Futuristics were all named as producers for the forthcoming record; the former duo also co-wrote all four songs that ended up on the extended play. The title and release date for Haiz were revealed by Billboard on November 2, 2015. It was released on November 13, 2015.
