Higher
Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been runnin' round in circles
Tryna find the end
Bumped into this shy guy
While chillin' with my friends

He's eyein' me
Sizin' me
Makes my body weak
He's bringin' out the freak in me

It's only been a minute
Since you came in
And changed my life
When I get around you
I feel this
Spark ignite

[Chorus: x2]
I got that fire
You got me open
You dig it deeper
We take it higher

Crazy, what we're doin'
Livin' let it go (go, go)
Ridin' havn' good times and
No one has to know

He's eyein' me
Sizin' me
Makes my body weak
He's bringin' out the freak in me

It's only been a minute
Since you came in
And changed my life
When I get around you
I feel this
Spark ignite

[Chorus: x2]
I got that fire
You got me open
You dig it deeper
We take it higher

We got that jam
Make them dance
Make them lose their minds
(Ooohhh ummmm hmhm)

We got that jam
Make them dance
Make them lose their minds
(Oh yeah)

We got that jam
Make them dance
Make them lose their minds
(Uh huh)

We got that jam
Make them dance
Make them lose their minds
Yeah, yeah, yeah





[Chorus x4]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ariana Grande's song Higher describe a feeling of being caught off guard and utterly changed by the presence of someone in the singer's life. The singer has been searching for a sense of fulfillment, running around in circles trying to find the end, but it is only when she encounters the "shy guy" that her life changes. The way he looks at her makes her feel weak and brings out a side of her that she describes as a "freak." The song describes the early stages of a relationship, where everything feels electric and new. The chorus of the song is about the intoxicating feeling of being around this person, who has opened the singer up in a way that feels like a spark igniting within her.


The lyrics of the song are sensual and suggest a sexual awakening in the singer. There is a sense of wild abandon and a willingness to let go and lose oneself in the experience of being with this person. The repetition of the lines "We take it higher" and "Make them lose their minds" emphasizes the intensity of the singer's feelings and suggests that this relationship is something that is all-consuming and transformative. The overall effect of the lyrics is to create a feeling of joyful release, a sense of being swept up in something bigger and more powerful than oneself.
