Contents

Upon release, Grennan said "On the day we wrote 'Higher' I'd left the room but I just couldn't get that riff out of my head. It turned into a melody, which turned into a phrase… I ran back into the studio, with the piano riff still playing, threw my hands up and sang: 'It's taking me higher'." [1] [2]

Reception

Desh Kapur from All Music Magazine called the song "A blast of uplifting, state-of-the-art pop" [3] Tom Skinner from NME called it a "slick and uplifting track". [1]
