Lyrically, the song is a graphic depiction of Tove Lo's hedonistic attempts to get over her ex. "It all happened," she grinned to Q magazine. "My habit isn't to go to sex clubs, but I have been. Some people have a problem with me portraying that ugliness, but that's the only way I can write."
Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson is a Swedish singer-songwriter who performs under the name of Tove Lo. Her "Lo" moniker is Swedish for Lynx - a species of wildcat that Nilsson fell in love with at the age of three while visiting an animal park. "I was standing with my face pressed against the glass," she recalled to the BBC. "I didn't want to leave. So my parents started calling me Tove Lo and it stuck."
The word "habits" never appears in the lyric. Titling the song "Stay High" could have hindered airplay.
