About This Track

Whethan and Dua Lipa collaborate on 'High', a track that pivots between restraint and release. Lipa's vocals move through verses of moral ambiguity, where preaching and practice diverge, before the chorus opens into a simple, insistent plea: why not surrender to something easier, something that might lift the weight? The production holds back, letting the lyrical tension breathe. Imagery of drowning, of pride buried and breath held, gives way to a bridge that questions whether there's still time to change course. It's a song about the appeal of numbness, sung with enough precision that the temptation feels real rather than rhetorical.

"High" is a track by Whethan, from the album Fifty Shades Freed (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), released 9th February 2018. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

High

[Verse 1: Dua Lipa]

You don't have to be so cautious if you practice what you preach

Counting up the stacks on the counter, a fucking disease

Don't ask me to be righteous if you practice what you teach

Counting all your blessings the second you're down on your knees

[Chorus: Dua Lipa]

So why, why

Don't we get a little high, high?

[Post-Chorus: Dua Lipa]

Don't we get a little, get a little

Don't we get a little high

Get a little high, high

[Verse 2: Dua Lipa]

Keep my head under the water, pride buried in my chest

Not counting all the minutes, the seconds, not holdin' my breath

Now sinking from the surface, swimming in my lungs

Losing all my vision, religion, I'm holding my tongue

[Chorus: Dua Lipa]

So why, why

Don't we get a little high, high?

[Post-Chorus: Dua Lipa]

Don't we get a little, get a little

Don't we get a little high

Get a little high, high

[Bridge: Dua Lipa]

Don't wanna pay attention to the writing on the wall

Painted with aggression, and dripping when you call

Not gonna learn my lesson, am I running out of time?

So, why, why, why?

[Post-Chorus: Dua Lipa]

Don't we get a little, get a little

Don't we get a little high

Get a little high, high
