"Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" is described as a R&B, [7] [8] funk rock [9] and blues rock [10] song. Carl Purvis of No Ripcord stated that the song "sounds like it's been ripped from a Jurassic 5 mixtape before Turner's exacerbated thirst to relieve his libido once again shines through." [11] Robert Ham from Paste opined that the song outlines Turner's "desperation for a 3 a.m. booty call with the title coming as a rebuttal." [12] Andy Baber of MusicOMH stated that the song contained "sultry, broken beats". He commented further that it "confirms the already lingering sense that AM is an album of the night." [13] Benji Taylor of Pretty Much Amazing wrote that the band's use of "stuttering hip hop beats" on AM is most notable on "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" [14] While Jazz Monroe of Drowned in Sound recognized influences from Dr. Dre and Timbaland. [15]

The song garnered acclaim from contemporary music critics. Mic Wright of The Quietus provided a positive review, writing the song has "enough swagger to make a young LL Cool J jealous." [18] Caleb Caldwell of Slant Magazine reviewed the song positively, writing, "The heavy, molasses-slow rhythms, especially the late-night beats of "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High," draw on Dr. Dre's brand of West Coast G-funk, as does Turner's use of broken rhymes and long, syllable-crammed lines, delivered in his characteristic sneer." [19] Kevin Harley of The Independent on Sunday praised the "tight, limber rhythms cushioning the G-funk comedown of the song." [20] Andy Gill from The Independent opined that the band "grind out a predatory, lurching funk-rock" in the song. [9] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that the song "simmers" and contains a "distinctly danceable rhythm." [21] A critic from DIY wrote that "the after hours, creep on creepin’ on bassline" of the song is just one of the many moments where AM clicks. [22]

A music video for "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?", directed by Nabil Elderkin, began filming in early July 2013 and was released on 10 August 2013. [24] As of November 2023, it has over 170 million viewers on YouTube. The music video features Lamie Stewart as Stephanie.

The video shows Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O'Malley and Matt Helders in the 'Howl at the Moon' pub in East London, Hoxton Street, having a drink. The song "Do I Wanna Know?" can be heard in the background. Wasted, Alex sends multiple text messages to a girl called Stephanie to get a booty call, without any answer. When he leaves the pub, he walks through the city and hallucinates seeing Stephanie having sex with different men and riding naked on the back of a man's motorcycle. Eventually, he arrives at the wrong house, across the street from Stephanie's, and repeatedly knocks on the door while texting her "I'm outside". The camera shows the girl at her home picking up the phone and seeing 17 missed messages from "Alex band guy". She rolls her eyes in irritation and decides to ignore his texts. [25] [26]

The music video received a nomination for Best Rock Video at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. [27]

Live performances

The band has performed the song multiple times in several music festivals and also on various radio stations. They performed a stripped-down version of the song on BBC's Live Lounge. [28] A critic from Spin magazine provided a positive review of the performance, writing, "The low-key version holds onto the original's falsetto pleas and strummy strut, but peppers the tune with careful xylophone plinks, lending the long-distance kiss-off a new kind of delicacy." [29] On 22 February 2014, they performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman. [30] "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" Was also included in the setlist of their AM Tour.

Miley Cyrus version

In January 2014, Miley Cyrus covered the song during the uncensored version of her MTV Unplugged special. [31] Cyrus' version garnered critical acclaim. According to Stephanie Chase of Contactmusic.com, she "nailed it". [32] Kimberley Dadds of BuzzFeed called the version "very, very good" and stated that "It's a nice reminder that she's actually quite good at singing." [33] Merna Jibrail of AndPOP praised the performance, writing, "Miley brought some British flair to her MTV Unplugged session with her amazing cover of the Arctic Monkeys’ hit." [34] Tom Breihan of Stereogum praised Cyrus' vocal delivery, writing, "Cyrus’s cover stands tall. She’s got enough swagger and iciness to sell the song, she’s got the technical chops to hit a couple of big notes toward the end, and she sings like she’s knows what she’s singing about." [35] Shannon Carlin provided a positive review, writing, "Cyrus creeps into a deep, southern twang to tell the tale of a rather long night and keeps things a little seedy with her country drawl." [36] Ben Kaye of Consequence of Sound praised Cyrus' vocals, writing, "Cyrus reached way up high for some powerful ending notes." [37] Amy Sciarretto of PopCrush provided a positive review, writing, "She hits some power notes in the last few seconds of the song, where she lets it rip." [38] Rae Alexandra from SF Weekly praised the performance, writing, "She took the laid-back swagger of the original, gave it a sultry, stompy slant, and injected the end of the track with a refreshing kick of passion." [39] Charlie Gowans-Eglinton of Elle called the cover "brilliant". [40] Writing for Time , Sam Lansky praised Cyrus' "raspy, tangy vocals and energetic showmanship." [41]

During an interview, Matt Helders, the drummer of Arctic Monkeys, revealed his love for Cyrus' version of the track. Quizzed on his favorite cover version of one of the band's songs, the drummer said: "I think Miley Cyrus' version of 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High'... she did some bits in there I wish we'd have done. She gets higher than we can in the voice" [42] Cyrus has also performed the track on selected stops of her Bangerz Tour. [43] [44] The performance received positive reviews. Andrea Domanick of the Las Vegas Weekly praised Cyrus' "sleek-and-sexy delivery" of the song. [43] A critic from the Belfast Telegraph praised Cyrus' vocal performance, writing, "Cyrus has got one hell of a voice, she impressively growled through a cover of Arctic Monkeys' Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" [44]

It is a pop song, with lyrics reflecting her relocating from Nashville, Tennessee, to Hollywood, California. This is one of four collaborations between Cyrus and Dr. Luke, with the EP title track "The Time of Our Lives", will.i.am's "Fall Down" and "Wrecking Ball" following in 2013.
