Manic Dream Pixie is the debut extended play by Australian singer-songwriter Peach PRC,[4][5] released on 28 April 2023 through Republic Records.[6] The EP debuted at number one on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.

A pride edition of the EP called Music Is Universal: Manic Dream Pixie Pride featuring previous singles "God is a Freak", "Symptomatic", "Forever Drunk", and "Heavy", was released on 9 June 2023.[7]

The EP was nominated for three awards at the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, and two at the 2024 Rolling Stone Australia Awards.

A deluxe version of the EP was released on 26 April 2024 with new song "You're So Lucky You're Gorgeous".[8]

The album is considered to be part of the bubblegum pop genre.[2][3] It has also been described as a 2000s pop throwback, with Peach describing her desire to return to "2010-era fun" music such as Carly Rae Jepsen and Katy Perry.[9]

The song "Favourite Person" is a response to Peach's breakout 2021 single "Josh", with the latter being about a breakup with an ex-boyfriend and "Favourite Person" being intended as an apology for how she spoke about him at the time.[9] "Kinda Famous" was inspired musically by the beat from Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" and lyrically by Kesha's "Stephen", and is about pursuing romance with a "kinda famous" boy band member.[9] The song has also been called a tongue-in-cheek version of Eminem's "Stan" because she manages to be charming despite exhibiting stalker behavior.[10]
