Overall Meaning

The song "My High" by Disclosure featuring slowthai is a high-energy hip-hop track with electronic dance music influences. At its core, it's a song about protecting one's state of mind, specifically from a person who is trying to bring them down. The first verse describes a situation where slowthai is being bothered by a person who is looking for a "baller," and he warns her not to "fuck up his high." The chorus emphasizes this message with a repeated plea to "please don't fuck up my high." The second verse continues with slowthai rapping about various things that could potentially bring him down, but he's determined to keep his energy up and enjoy his night. The song ends with a few minutes of instrumental EDM, with the same refrain of "please don't bring me down."


Although the lyrics are pretty straightforward, there are a couple of interesting things to note about "My High." First, the song features a sample of "You Don't Know" by the British garage duo 702, which was a big hit in the UK in 1998. Second, the music video for "My High" features slowthai and Disclosure in a car chase with a woman who is wearing a VR headset. The video was directed by the French duo Simon Cahn and Julien Choquart. Third, the release of "My High" was delayed due to slowthai's controversial behavior at the NME Awards earlier this year. Fourth, the song has been described by some critics as a political statement, with slowthai's distinctly British accent and lyrics that reference "club promoters" and "firm handshakes."


Overall, "My High" is a catchy and intense collaboration between Disclosure and slowthai. The electronic dance beats and slowthai's confident flow make for a unique and exciting song that's perfect for a night out (or staying in).

It's more hip house, but your point still stands.
