Teen singer Miranda Cosgrove has teamed with Weezer's Rivers Cuomo on a track for a new EP she plans to release March 15.
The star of Nickelodeon's "iCarly" told Billboard.com that their collaboration, "High Maintenance," is in contention to be the title track for the set.
"It's the first duet I've ever done, and it was really fun," Cosgrove said. "My part of the song is this girl who's high maintenance, and Rivers is this guy who's having to put up with it. I really enjoyed working with (Cuomo). He's really cool. I've worked with Dr. Luke for awhile...and he ended up introducing me to Rivers."
Cosgrove said Dr. Luke also steered her toward Swedish producer Max Martin, who helmed a song on her 2010 debut album, "Sparks Fly," as well as her new single, "Dancing Crazy," which will appear on the EP.
"That's one of the most fun songs, because it's a straight party song...so it's just crazy," said Cosgrove, who's playing the song on her current headlining tour.
The 17-year-old, who had her first hit with the "iCarly" theme song "Leave It All to Me" in 2007, also hoped the EP will show that she's grown since making "Sparks Fly."
