"So High" is a song by American singer John Legend. It was written by Legend along with Paul Cho and DeVon "Devo" Harris for his debut album Get Lifted (2004), while production was helmed by the latter. The song was originally recorded the same year on his third live album, and is built around a sample of "I Don't Need No Reason" by American band Jr. Walker & The All Stars. Due to the inclusion of the sample, Leon Ware and Pam Sawyer are credited as songwriters. Released as the album's fourth and final single, it peaked at number 53 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Issued along a remix version which features different beats and singer Lauryn Hill on vocals was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 2005.[1]
