High Maintenance is the second EP by American actress and pop singer Miranda Cosgrove, released by Columbia Records and Epic Records on March 17, 2011. The EP was preceded by its lead single, "Dancing Crazy", which was co-written by Canadian pop punk singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne with Max Martin and Shellback, who produced it. The single became her first to chart on the Top Heatseekers chart, peaking at number 21. The single also charted on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, peaking at number 49, as well as peaking at 36 on the Pop Songs music chart, which is based upon airplay on pop radio. It also charted in countries such as Slovakia, where it peaked at number seventeen. High Maintenance was made available for pre-order on March 2, 2011, the same day that "Dancing Crazy" became available for free download on iTunes.
The EP was promoted mainly through touring and live promotional appearances on television. The main promotion technique was the Dancing Crazy Tour, named after the EP's lead single. The tour, which had over twenty stops in North America, lasted for almost four months with a four-month interission, beginning January 24, 2011 and ending February 25, 2011 and resuming July 15, 2011 and ending August 10, 2011. Greyson Chance opened up for her on all dates of the tour. The duo also performed "Dancing Crazy" together on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 9, 2011. Other promotional techniques included a performance at the Hard Rock Cafe on the day of the EP's release, as well as interviews on talk shows such as The Today Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
