"High on Life" is a song by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix. [4] A progressive house ballad featuring Swedish songwriter and vocalist Kristoffer "Bonn" Fogelmark, [1] it was released via Garrix's Stmpd Rcrds label, which is exclusively-licensed to a Sony Music sublabel, Epic Amsterdam. [5] The song's production credits consist of frequent Garrix collaborators Matisse & Sadko, Albin Nedler and established producer Giorgio Tuinfort, who has produced multiple songs with Garrix. [3] [6]
Garrix's label had announced via Twitter the song would be immediately available for release "the moment (Garrix) plays it at #Tomorrowland" during his headlining closing performance. [7] [8] It was premiered at the Tomorrowland 2018 music festival in Belgium as the closing song on 29 July 2018. [5] It was also released at midnight on the same day. [9]
"High on Life" is one of the two songs announced by Garrix for release since his last single " Ocean" with Khalid, the other being a collaboration with Justin Mylo that would be released in September. [10]
The song has been musically compared to Garrix's previous singles such as "Dragon", "Lions in the Wild" and "Forever", as an "energetic and emotion-filled progressive house track". [2] The song is noted as a "return to his roots" in reference to Garrix's regular crossover musical style of pop music to his typical big room house and progressive house. [11]
Described as an uplifting summer song that is a "synth-heavy festival house tune", the song's production has been compared to the style of late Swedish DJ Avicii, who had worked with Garrix for the song " Waiting for Love". [12] [13]
The music video for the song has also been released, featuring clips from Garrix's Tomorrowland performance which shows "the most standard and spectacular face of Tomorrowland". [14] [15] It was released to YouTube and streaming platforms five minutes after the performance at Tomorrowland ended. [16] [17]
