"High with Somebody" is a song by Swedish singer Sandro Cavazza and P3GI-13. The song was released on 23 March 2018 and peaked at number nine in Sweden.

Talking about writing the song Cavazza said, "I really felt like it was time to write something happy. I hope that this song will be the summer jam for a lot of people."

Background

Cavazza told Entertainment Focus The story is based on a guy he was working with while living in Los Angeles. "He was an insane slacker, he had all the money in the world but he was so indifferent to it. He could throw a house party and while everyone else was having a blast he would just go to bed. He was someone who is really in a "Hakuna Matata" mentality. I live my life the polar opposite, working all the time for everything because I don't believe anything happens just for itself, but it was fun to write a song that is about someone who is absolutely certain that tomorrow everything will be sensational."[2]

The song was co-written with as well as produced by Nicklas Lif, and mixed by Adel Dahdal.

Music video

The music video for "High with Somebody" was directed by Robin Kempe-Bergman, produced by Robinovich and released on 23 March 2018.[3] In a YouTube video released in April 2018, Cavazza said "We were going for a carefree video... me not caring, hence the stone face."[4] Pip Ellwood-Hughes from Entertainment Focus said "The colourful video features Cavazza in bed with a variety of different people, including someone in a rabbit suit, and as it progresses he's seen sat on a couch while people interact around him."[5]

Reception

Scandipop described the song as "A super-catchy, summer-ready, radio-friendly, bop of a tune that sort of meets in the middle of what he delivered with both his debut EP and his Avicii collabs. It's got his own soulful sound, with the slightest of country influences."[6]
