About This Track
LP's 'When We're High' is a love song built on the premise of intoxication as metaphor for connection. The track moves between verses that catalogue a relationship's arc, from solitude to intimacy, from failed attempts at permanence to a kind of reckless commitment, and a chorus that collapses the distinction between physical and emotional high. The lyrical conceit is straightforward: being with this person produces the same euphoria as getting high, and the speaker wants to repeat it endlessly. The song's structure leans on repetition and call-and-response, with the chorus hammering its central refrain across multiple iterations. A bridge that splices in half-remembered pop-culture fragments (references to Britney Spears and Shakira) disrupts the momentum slightly, introducing a note of playfulness or pastiche before the final chorus reasserts the main hook. Throughout, LP's delivery stays conversational, letting the melody do the work of making the sentiment feel earned rather than saccharine.
"When We're High" is a track by LP, from the album Lost On You (Deluxe), released 28th April 2017. Full lyrics are available below.
