Before entering the charts, Doolittle toured the UK with her band to gain recognition. This later turned into the "Playground Unplugged" tour where she performed at secondary schools Hagley RC High School, The Magna Carta School, The Bewdley School and Sixth Form Centre, Highworth Grammar School and Presdales School.
The first release from Doolittle is a self-titled EP that features four tracks Rollerblades, Moneybox, Police Car and Go Home. This was released on 29 November 2009. Tracks from the EP were remixed by Plastic Little ('Rollerblades'), Sam Young and Jamie xx from The xx ('Money Box'). The EP received radio plays from Rob Da Bank, Nick Grimshaw, Fearne Cotton and Jo Whiley.
Her debut single Skinny Genes was released on 12 April 2010. The song had featured in a television advert for an online retailer. She told BBC's Steve Lamacq the song is "a funny scenario if you didn’t like someone, if they were really annoying, but you had a good time under the sheets." Doolittle's second release is entitled Pack Up and released on 5 July 2010, debuting at #12 on the Official UK Singles Chart on 11 July 2010.
She recorded the song Running For Life which featured on the soundtrack to the film AdULTHOOD. Doolittle was a special guest on Paloma Faith's concert tour which began on 30 October 2010.
So High
Eliza Doolittle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes
In the alley-way feeling peaceful now,
Traffic doesn't ever bother me,
It's enough for me,
Living in my dreams,
I just can't be bothered,
Why should I be bothered?
My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes
On a sunny day,
Sit and contemplate,
All the things that really matter now,
It hurts to hear that you're doing good,
I just can't be bothered,
Why should I be bothered?
I know the truth
Gotta let you go
Gotta put you out
You've become a foe
My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes
My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes
Eliza Doolittle's "So High" expresses the singer's desire to hold onto a relationship that is slipping away. She wants her partner to know that she needs them, and she pleads with them not to walk away. The chorus of the song declares the euphoric feeling that she gets when she's with her loved one. In the first verse, Doolittle sings about feeling peaceful in an alleyway, free from the chaos of traffic. She seems content to live in her own dreams, and she can't be bothered to do anything else.
In the second verse, Doolittle talks about sunny days spent contemplating the things that matter, but she's hurt that her partner is doing well without her. She again declares that she can't be bothered, but she knows that it's time to let her partner go because they've become a "foe." The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the strength of Doolittle's emotions and her desire to hold onto this relationship despite its deterioration.
Overall, "So High" is a melancholy song about the difficulty of letting go of someone you love. It captures the feeling of being simultaneously high and low as you try to hold onto a relationship that's slipping away.
