"High Road" is a song by American singer Koe Wetzel, released on June 7, 2024 as the third single from his sixth studio album 9 Lives. It features American singer Jessie Murph and the highest-charting song for both artists, peaking at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Koe Wetzel spoke of the song:
"High Road" is a good example of how this album shows a different side of me than people might expect. Every record's almost turning a new leaf, always a left turn because of how honest I am. But this? It's what the people have been expecting from me, but we hadn't gotten there yet. It's a grown-up version of me.[1]
Much like Koe Wetzel's previous single "Sweet Dreams", the song combines R&B elements into his style of country rock. The lyrics find Wetzel dealing with a rocky relationship by calming down and using drugs, which he refers to as taking the "high road". Jessie Murph sings from the perspective of the woman in this relationship.
An official music video for the song was released on June 27, 2024.[2]
"High Road" debuted at number 54 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for the week dated July 27, 2024.[3]
