Written by Mike WiLL Made-It’s new single “high3r,” featuring Lil Yachty and Lil Wayne, is a sonic journey that delves deep into themes of excess, euphoria, and the fleeting nature of highs. The track begins with an infectious energy, “But right now, I’m feelin’ alive again, I’ve been up for three days, still do not feel tired,” setting the tone for a relentless, adrenaline-fueled ride.
Lil Yachty’s verse is both intimate and grandiose, “I wanna live inside her, it’s like a fire, feelin’ inspired, I wanna take you higher.” His lyrics capture the essence of living in the moment, driven by passion and a desire to transcend ordinary experiences. The verse seamlessly transitions into a more introspective tone as he questions the authenticity of his encounters, “Hopin’ she’s not a liar, movin’ just like Michael Myers.”
The chorus, with contributions from both Lil Yachty and Lil Wayne, emphasizes the theme of excess, “Ain’t no competition, two Perkies in my hand, she just washed ’em back, already off a Xan’.” Despite the high-energy delivery, there’s an underlying sense of confusion and searching, “Right now, I do not know who I am, look at my eyes, how high I am.”
Lil Wayne’s verse adds another layer of complexity, blending humor with raw honesty. Lines like, “I wanna date Shania, I wanna date Zendaya,” showcase his playful side, while “Tweakin’, I feel like I’m flyin’, lately, been thinkin’ ’bout dyin'” reveal a deeper, more vulnerable perspective.
“high3r” is a masterclass in production and lyrical storytelling. Mike WiLL Made-It’s signature beats provide the perfect backdrop for Lil Yachty and Lil Wayne’s dynamic verses, resulting in a track that’s both captivating and thought-provoking. It’s a celebration of highs, both literal and metaphorical, while also acknowledging the inevitable lows.
