"Higher" is a song by New Zealand indie electronic band The Naked and Famous from their third studio album, Simple Forms.

"[2] According to keyboardist Aaron Short, "Higher" was planned for inclusion on In Rolling Waves, and was originally "a lot more of a down-tempo, minimal electronic form", with Powers on vocals.

[5] In early July 2016, the group signed with Kobalt Label Services in North America for the release of the single, as well as their third studio album.

[4] Consequence of Sound described the track as dealing with both passion and pain in great quantities, with "razor synths buzzsaw and grind before being uplifted by Xayalith's skyscraper vocals".

[2] The New Zealand Herald stated that "The Auckland five-piece are known for making synth-drenched festival singalongs, and Higher's shimmering hooks and shouted chorus is no different.
