High was released initially as an mp3 download as part of NPG Music Club Edition # 11, although a clip of the song had been included ten months earlier as part of NPG Ahdio Show # 1. In 2004, the track was included as the seventh track on the compilation album The Chocolate Invasion.

Good track

The intro could pass for a game show theme!

Meh, pretty corny

Positive, uplifting but a bit superficial/plasticy sounding like much of the music from the NPGMC period.

I always thought he was singing "Gonna get you hot' rather than 'high'.

A good light and breezy track. I like it when I hear it on shuffle. Underrated. A cool track, would have liked to find it on a b side. It would have been nice as the B side for love sign (I know it was released after love sign and love sign was a video and not really a single BUT) looking for a track that it could pair with.

It could have fit with Dance 4 me to now that I think about it.

Or Love from 3121 if that would have been released as a singe.

Has that later period Prince feel. I associate it with tracks like 2morrow (though not as Jazzy) or perhaps get your groove on.

Defo on the "all time shittiest Prince track" list, for me anyway

.

I hate it.

Really like it, and Femi Jiya said it was a track Prince actually spent a lo of time on with mixing. I think it shows.

I used to have the NPG Ahdio edit burned on a CD and would play it over and over that summer. Great summer tune.

I think it's very catchy, and I love what's happening rhythmically with the drum programming and rhythm guitar. I think it's cool when he takes an instrument like a guitar and plays it almost like a percussion part in the groove.

During The Rainbow Children Celebration that year, he came into one of the group discussions and one of the things he talked about was this song, and how he would fight with radio programmers to get it played. "How can a dope song like High not get on the radio?" Obviously, he thought quite highly of it.

Yes, it's corny as hell, and no it wouldn't have been the hit in 2001 that he thought it would have been, but it is good fun nonetheless.

Me too

Yes. I thought the High project has some very good stuff. Much better than Rave and may have with the right video and promotion been a decent hit for him.
