Higher (Taio Cruz song)

"Higher" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter Taio Cruz, which he co-wrote and co-produced with Sandy Vee. Although initially conceived for Kylie Minogue's 2010 album Aphrodite, the track was ultimately not included. Cruz recorded a solo version of "Higher" for a revised US edition of his second studio album, Rokstarr (2010). He then recorded two duet versions: one with Minogue for a European digital release on 26 November 2010, and another featuring rapper Travie McCoy for the US release on 30 November.

A blend of dance, electronic, Europop, and disco track, "Higher" aims to evoke dancefloor euphoria. The solo version was praised as a Rokstarr highlight, and the Minogue version also received favourable reviews, often preferred over the McCoy version. Retrospectively, several critics have included "Higher" among Minogue's best tracks. The single was a commercial success, entering the top 20 and receiving certifications in various countries across Europe, the Americas, and Australasia. In the United States, it topped the Dance Club Songs chart and earned a Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.

Alex Herron directed two music videos for "Higher": one pairing Cruz with Minogue, and the other with McCoy. Set within a London Docklands warehouse, the videos depict an indoor car race. Cruz promoted "Higher" extensively in 2011 through televised performances, enlisting singers like Kimberly Wyatt and Jade Ewen to fill in for Minogue. He has continued to include the song in his live sets at numerous festivals.
