The story behind the song

"High On Life" captures the exhilarating feeling of finding something real amidst a fast-paced existence. The lyrics speak of overcoming inner struggles and the contrast between a whirlwind life and the profound connection felt with another person, even if that connection feels fleeting like a ghost. This progressive house ballad, featuring Kristoffer "Bonn" Fogelmark, was first premiered at the Tomorrowland 2018 music festival. It plays like a celebration of those intense, vivid moments that make life feel truly alive.
