About Habits (Stay High) in brief
\”Habits \” is a song recorded by Swedish singer Tove Lo from her debut extended play, Truth Serum, and her debut studio album, Queen of the Clouds. It was written by Lo with Ludvig Söderberg and Jakob Jerlström, while it was produced by the latter two under the production name The Struts. Musically, it is a pop and electropop song which features a minimal and upbeat electronic instrumentation. Its lyrics delve into the singer’s attempts to forget her previous boyfriend through substance abuse, drinking and other hedonistic practices. The track became a sleeper hit; it entered the music charts in 2014, one year after its original release. The recording peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and became the highest-charting song by a Swedish artist on that chart since Ace of Base in 1994. It has been covered by artists such as Vin Diesel, whose performance was a tribute to his late friend Paul Walker, and Kelly Clarkson, who performed the track on her Piece by Piece Tour. The single was awarded the Song of the Year award at the Grammis of 2015 in Sweden. A remix by record production duo Hippie Sabotage, titled \”Stay High\”, was released as the third single and reached the top ten in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and other countries in Europe. The song has been certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and has sold over 2. 6 million copies in the country.
The singer performed the single at festivals such as South by Southwest and the Hangout Music Festival, and included it on the set list of her tours, the Queen of The Clouds Tour and the Lady Wood Tour. According to Lo, the song is the song that means the most to her because of its honest lyrics and extended writing process. The first version, released on 15 March 2013, featured the singer at a tea party while getting drunk with her guests. The second version was filmed at a Swedish club over three days and depicts Lo in a night of partying with her friends. It reached half-a-million views on YouTube before it was made private one year later. Lo signed a publishing deal with WarnerChappell Music in 2011, and co-wrote songs for Icona Pop and Girls Aloud. She later released her debut single, \”Love Ballad\”, in October 2012, which drew the attention from some music blogs. This encouraged her to start a career as an independent singer so she could record her most personal songs. In December 2012, she announced through her Facebook account that she was working on some projects she did not get to finish. She decided to use the demo for the song because her vocal performance for the demo on the demo was really coming from the heart from the moment she recorded it. In January 2013, she recorded the song with Lars Norgren, Björn Engelmann, Filip Runesson and Lars Nörnmann.
