Release
4Minute originally scheduled their EP release for February 2012; however, this date was subsequently delayed several times. Volume Up was finally released and officially revealed on April 9, 2012.[1] The premiere of the music video for the title song took place on the same day.[2]

Later in 2012, the group sang a shortened version of the title song in Indian language. The music video for this song was shown as an art video on PRIME TIME Mnet.[citation needed]

Promotion
The group promoted the title track "Volume Up" (as well as the track "Dream Racer") on several music shows. Between April 12 and 15, 2012, they appeared onstage at music shows, including Mnet's M! Countdown, KBS's Music Bank,[3] MBC's ''Show! Music Core[4] and SBS's Inkigayo''.

Music video
The set from the music video for "Volume Up" reportedly cost $132,538, making it the ninth most expensive K-pop music video.[citation needed] This video features a gothic set reminiscent of a Dark-Age castle. It consists of several tightly-edited shots of the group, sometimes with dancers and sometimes with animals in the background, combined with shots of the ominous-looking interior architecture.[5] This music video was released on April 9, 2012.[6]
