track that was co-written by Avril Lavigne
, Max Martin
, Shellback
, and produced by Martin and Shellback. The lyrics of the song deal mainly with Cosgrove and her friends just going out, partying, and having a good time. The single is written in a common verse-chorus style
. The song opens up with the first verse, and then transpires to bridge. After that, the first chorus is sung, followed by the second verse. The second bridge and chorus follow that. The third verse slows down, and sees Cosgrove singing the chorus in a slower melody
. The final chorus then ensues. The song closes with the ending word "Smack". During a Behind the Scenes look at the recording of the song, Cosgrove stated,
Commonsensemedia wrote, "Dancing Crazy, [...] has one thing on its mind: cutting loose on the dance floor until the wee hours of the morning. Written by Avril Lavigne, the song describes staying out all night, spending most of it dancing (with a little kissing thrown in) -- "You, me in the spotlight / Running around till the end of the night / Hot, hot keep it comin' / We can rock out till the early morning." Though the actions in this tune aren't necessarily irresponsible, they may be a little iffy for the youngest tweens."
said of the song "Poppy! Fun! Kinda 80s Bananarama-ish! The “You! Me! In the spotlight!” bit in particular sounds like “Girlfriend”-esque Avril, not to mention the low-key guitar on the bridge. We’re guessing this tune didn’t make the cut of Lavigne’s upcoming album Goodbye Lullaby and Miranda snatched up her scraps. Still, even as leftovers, it’s a pretty tasty track and much like she did with Kesha
's 'Disgusting', Miranda can pull it off. For a song called 'Dancing Crazy', though, a bit more musical lunacy—or maybe one extra beat speeding it along—would have been nice to elevate it to something resembling insanity." Reflectiveinklings gave the song a mixed review, stating "Dancing Crazy still is embedded with a nifty hook just like 'Kissin' U'. However, the sameness between the two aforementioned singles gets thrown out right away after that comparison. If 'Kissin' U' surprised me for showcasing Cosgrove’s vocals with aplomb, Dancing Crazy does the opposite. Dancing Crazy pretty much offers the listener what he might have heard from other artist in the past. In a few words, yes, this song is a bit generic. The track might get a few plays because of its little charm (which will fully entice the kids who really love her show) and curiosity from the listener but afterwards, the magic fades. This is a step backwards for Cosgrove. Let us just hope she bounces back." Commensensemedia gave the song 3 out of 5 stars, while negatively saying, "Cosgrove's music suffers from the same issues as a lot of her peers' (like Selena Gomez's
): mediocre vocals and the same-old synth-pop beat. Ultimately, it's hard to tell this song apart from the sea of similar-sounding tunes out there, making it a fairly forgettable track overall."
, peaking at number 100. Also, it did have success on US radio, when it peaked at number thirty-six on the Pop Songs chart, which is based on pop radio airplay. It is also her first single to chart on the Billboard Top Heatseekers
chart, where it debuted and peaked at number twenty-one. It was moderately successful in some foreign countries, such as Slovakia

, which kicked off in January 2011. The song is the fourteenth and final track to be performed on the tour, being performed after her performance of a new track, Sayonara. Aside from being promoted while on tour, the song was also performed live on the March 9th, 2011 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show
. The performance saw Cosgrove singing the song as several children danced around her. As Cosgrove started to sing the final chorus of the song, Greyson Chance
, who had opened up for her on her Dancing Crazy Tour
, came out onto the stage to sing with her. On March 15, the day of the album's release, Cosgrove performed at the Hard Rock Cafe
in Hollywood, California
.
The tour Dancing Crazy Summer Tour added this song for the finale song of the show where Chance came out and sang it with Cosgrove. she has confetti go all over after the song is finished.
for "Dancing Crazy" was first announced during Cosgrove's interview on The Today Show
. While there, she also showed a snippet of the music video. During a Behind the Scenes look, Cosgrove stated:
The video opens up to several girls waiting for Cosgrove outside of her house. It is 11:00 pm, and Cosgrove is seen getting out of bed, grabbing her coat, and sneaking outside to the girls, as they pull out of the house, she sees her teenage neighbor walking the dog. The two have eye contact momentarily, and smile at one another. As the first verse begins, Cosgrove and her friends are seen in the car, dancing to a song on the radio, while driving down the road. As the bridge begins, several other cars filled with teenagers are seen following them, and they all pull over and get out at a local high school. As the chorus begins, they are seen jumping over a fence onto a football field, where a car and large speakers have already been set up. As they turn on the music in the football field, the teens all begin to dance with one another. Shots of Cosgrove still sitting in the car with her friends dancing are shown at random moments, switching back and forth between the football field and the car. As the second verse begins, Cosgrove is seen sitting on the car at the football field. More kids begin to arrive, including the neighbors that Cosgrove seen when she was leaving the house. As the bridge begins, he is seen greeting random kids, however, he does not appear to have noticed Cosgrove yet. As the chorus plays, the teens all form a circle, and one at a time several kids take turn break dancing in the center of the circle. As the second chorus closes, Cosgrove and her neighbors notice each other at the same time, and she walks over to him. After talking for a moment, they walk over to the bleachers as the third verse begins. They are seen talking and laughing for a while. He then puts his arm around her. A few moments later, they are shown holding hands on the bleachers, and as the third verse ends, they are seen kissing one another. As the final chorus plays, the two are seen together, dancing by the car on the football field. Clips of several teens break-dancing continue to switch back and forth. The sprinklers come on, however, and all of the teens run back home. Cosgrove is then shown back in the car with her girlfriends, presumably driving back home. As the sun begins to rise, Cosgrove arrives home and waves goodbye to her friends. As she sneaks up to her room and lays down, intending to finally get some sleep, her alarm clock goes off, and it's time for her to wake up for school. The video closes with a shot of her pressing the snooze button.

"Basically, in the video, I'm sneaking out of the house with my friends in this cool vintage red car. As we're driving, other cars show up behind us and other people that are our friends follow.
