"Higher" is a song by English singer-songwriter Tom Grennan. It was released on 20 September 2024 as the lead single from his forthcoming fourth studio album.[1]

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]
