"High Road" is a song by American singer Koe Wetzel,released on June 7,2024,as the third single from his sixth studio album 9 Lives . It features American singer Jessie Murph and was also included on her 2024 studio album That Ain't No Man That's the Devil . It became the highest-charting song for both artists,peaking at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Koe Wetzel spoke of the song:
"High Road" is a good example of how this album shows a different side of me than people might expect. Every record's almost turning a new leaf,always a left turn because of how honest I am. But this? It's what the people have been expecting from me,but we hadn't gotten there yet. It's a grown-up version of me. [1]
Much like Koe Wetzel's previous single "Sweet Dreams",the song combines R&B elements into his style of country rock. The lyrics find Wetzel dealing with a rocky relationship by calming down and using drugs,which he refers to as taking the "high road". Jessie Murph sings from the perspective of the woman in this relationship. [1]
An official music video for the song was released on June 27,2024. [2]
"High Road" debuted at number 54 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for the week dated July 27,2024. [3]
