Habits (Stay High)
"Habits" is a song by Swedish recording artist Tove Lo featured on her debut extended play, Truth Serum, as well as her debut album, Queen of the Clouds. The song was released on 25 March 2013 as Tove Lo's second single, and later re-released on 6 December 2013 under the title "Habits (Stay High)". The song was released in the United States on 14 April 2014 as the lead single for Truth Serum and for Queen of the Clouds. Musically, "Habits" is a pop and electropop song that details the protagonist's attempts to forget about her previous significant other through drinking and other hedonistic pleasures.
"Habits" became a sleeper hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States; it marked her first hit single on that chart. Tove Lo is the highest-charting Swedish artist on that chart since "The Sign" by Ace of Base peaked at number one in 1994.[1] The song found more success worldwide as a remix by Hippie Sabotage, where it reached the top ten in Australia and the United Kingdom and other countries in Europe.
Background and release
"Habits (Stay High)" was written by Tove Lo alongside Ludvig Söderberg and Jakob Jerlström and produced by Söderberg and Jerlström, under the production name The Struts.[2] According to Lo, "Habits (Stay High)" is the song from Truth Serum that "means most" to her because it's "the most directly honest" and its process of writing was "huge" for her.[3] Initially, the verses of the song were part of a poem written by Lo when she was during a "really bad time" in a relationship.[4] Later, Lo's boyfriend joined a Buddhist movement but she refused to join, which lead the relationship to an end.[5] After that, she started using drugs and drinking in order to forget him.[4][6] Months after the relationship ended, she was staying at a friend's apartment in New York, during the Sandy storm, on 2012.[7] When the apartment lost electricity and heat, Lo went to stay at her friend's studio in Midtown, where she wrote the chorus.[6][8][9] On 11 December 2012, she wrote on her Facebook account that she didn't get to finish too much in New York and that she was working in the studio with The Struts in Sweden.[10] The singer tried to re-record the vocals, but she decided to keep the demo because "it was really coming from the heart".[4] The Struts co-wrote, produced and programmed the track and played the keys. Filip Runesson played the strings, while Lars Norgren mixed the song and Björn Engelmann mastered it.[2]
In an interview with Coup de Main Magazine, she said that "[While writing "Habits", I was thinking about] my way of getting through a hard time in 'the best' possible way. It’s a big relief to just think 'fuck it all' for a while. We all have to be so perfect, and absolutely no one can live up to it".[11] On 13 March 2013, the singer released the song's artwork with the caption "Soon" on her Facebook account.[12] Two days later, she released the track, under the title of "Habits".[13][14] It was her second independently-released single,[13][5] after "Love Ballad".[15][16] The song drew the attention of music blogs, which gained Lo online following.[17][18][19][20][21] Welsh singer Marina and the Diamonds called the song "fucking brilliant" through her Twitter account.[19] On May 2013, American duo MS MR featured the track on their Soundcloud mixtape Track Addict Vol. III.[22] Lo re-released the song under the title of "Habits (Stay High)" on 6 December 2013, throughout Universal Music,[23] as the second single from Lo's debut extended play Truth Serum as well as the lead single from her debut studio album Queen of the Clouds.[24][25] It was digitally released in the US on 14 January 2014.[26] On 17 June 2014, it was sent to US contemporary hit radio.[27]
Inspiration
According to the artist, the songs on the Truth Serum EP talk about her "most intense" failed relationship.[28] She told that: "In its entirety, [Truth Serum tells] a love story from beginning to end. The song 'Love Ballad' is about the moment you decide to give everything to another person, while 'Habits' shows what happens when everything is screwed up and you just want to freak out. 'Out of Mind' deals with the stage after that, when your broken heart has mended, but the scars are still there".[29] In an interview with Refinery29, she said that "'Habits' is the part where we're broken up and I'm trying to get on with my life — maybe in not the healthiest way".[30] Lo's debut studio album, Queen of the Clouds, is divided into three sections that represent the pattern of the singer's relationships: "The Sex", "The Love" and "The Pain",[31] where "Habits (Stay High)" is included in the latter.[32] In an interview with The Huffington Post, the singer confessed that she got over the break up after she wrote the song.[33] In another, she explained the inspiration of the song and expressed her opinion about the people's perception of the track: Vorlage:Quote
Composition
Vorlage:Listen "Habits (Stay High)" is a pop and electropop song.[34][35] According to sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, it is composed in the key of [[B-flat major|BVorlage:Music major]] and set in common time signature, and has a dance pop tempo of 110 beats per minute. Lo's vocals span from the low note of [[B-flat (musical note)|BVorlage:Flat3]] to the high note of C5.[36] The song has a minimal and upbeat electronic instrumentation which consists of drums, bass, backup vocals and Lo’s voice.[37] The song starts with the words "oh oh", which repeat after every sentence of the verses.[37] Some critics noted a contrast between the track's lyrics and production. Carrie Battan of Pitchfork stated that the song "contrasts a giant hook and chorus with snappy verses filled with quietly distinct, often strange imagery: of Nilsson eating her dinner in the bathtub, getting drunken munchies, seducing dads on playgrounds".[38] Chris Jordan of Asbury Park Press wrote that "Habits (Stay High)" is a "synth-based pop song with a sweeping chorus" but noted that the lyrical content of the track was similar to that of rock 'n' roll music.[39] Jia of All Things Go website said that the song's verses "unravel debauched lyrics under a candy-sweet melody and a resolute beat".[40]
Lirically, the song talks about Lo's hedonistic attempts to forget her former boyfriend,[28][35] including drug abuse,[32] alcoholism,[41] poor eating habits,[42] sex and self-medication.[34][42][43] In the song's first verse, the singer emphasizes on her problems with sex, ("I eat my dinner in the bathtub / Then I go to sex clubs / Watching freaky people gettin' it on"), food ("I get home, I got the munchies / Binge on all my Twinkies / Throw up in the tub / Then I go to sleep") and alcohol ("And I drank up all my money / Dazed and kinda lonely").[34][42] In the chorus, she sings about drugs abuse: "You’re gone and I gotta stay High / All the time, to keep you off my mind".[34][42] In the second verse, according to Plugged In's Adam R. Holz, Lo is "in a role of a dangerously desperate sexual predator" while she sings "Pick up daddies at the playground / How I spend my day time / Loosen up the frown / Make them feel alive".[34] According to Holz, in the bridge, Lo talks about "knowing —at some level— just how empty and self-obliterating her choices really are": "Staying in my play pretend / Where the fun ain't got no end / Can't go home alone again / Need someone to numb the pain".[34] The singer confessed to iHeart Radio that the song's bridge is her favorite part of the track because "that just says everything [the] song is about for me".[44]
Critical reception
"Habits (Stay High)" was well received by most critics. Harley Brown of Billboard wrote that the track is "one of the most easily identifiable pop songs I've heard in recent memory: everyone's gotten high, maybe eaten too many Twinkies, and regretted life decisions, but not everyone makes a really superb song about it".[45] Pitchfork's Carrie Battam wrote that the track's "pop beat and a huge hook" make the lyrics "sound gracefully sad instead of tragic".[46] On her review of Queen of the Clouds, Battam called it "a big, sticky song, but not so big that it stuns your senses or numbs you into enjoyment".[38] Nu Wave Pony deemed it as "stellar" and "incredible",[16] while Jennsdrunk of Pigeons and Planes wrote that "the beat pulses, [Lo's] voice is solid, and the lyrics are definitely going to get stuck in your head, whether you want them to or not".[18] Ewald Arndt of FDRMX said that, perhaps it was a "sad" and "depressing" song, it was "so fun to listen to".[37] Allmusic's Heather Phares called it "the Queen of the Clouds's standout track,[47] while Evan Ross of And Pop wrote that "it does a good job of describing that period of time between sadness and acceptance that comes with a breakup".[48] Sam Lansky of Idolator stated that it "has a little of the texture of Kesha's no-fucks-given party-girl pop but with the languorous sadness of Robyn" and "it’ll get stuck in your head, which is right where it deserves to be".[49] Bradley Stern of MuuMuse called it "the younger, more Swedish-sounding sister" to Sia's "Chandelier".[50]
However, not all the critics were positive towards the song. Jason Lipshutz of Billboard said that it was one of the "weaker songs" of Queen of the Clouds, while Jillian Mapes of the same magazine stated that it felt "a little too same-y amidst artists like Lorde and Banks".[45] Shirani M. Pathak, head of the Relationship Center of Silicon Valley, criticized the song's message, saying it wasn't positive and that "break ups can be difficult, but there are less destructive ways to get through them". She also expressed that: "The part that bothers me most about this song is that it is [...] about a woman with very low self-esteem who has made her fame off of her poor self-esteem and has for weeks been in Billboard 's top 10".[42] Billboard 's Jeremy D. Larson also criticized the message of the song, calling it "false" because "staying high does not keep anyone off your mind".[45]
Recognition and accolades
The reviewers of Rolling Stone ranked "Habits (Stay High)" at number twenty-three of their list of the 50 Best songs of 2014 and compared the song's production to that of Lorde's music and the lyrics to those of Kesha's songs.[51] Chris Jordan of Asbury Park Press deemed it as one of the best singles of that year and stated that "it was refreshing to hear the debauchery depicted" in the song.[39] Entertainment Weekly 's Miles Raymer listed the line "I eat my dinner in my bathtub / Then I go to sex clubs / Watching freaky people gettin' it on" on his list of the Best lyrics of 2014 and wrote that it was "one of the most interesting images to come out of a pop singer’s mouth this year".[52] Conversely, Candace300 of BuzzFeed ranked the song at number eight on her Top Ten Annoying Songs of 2014 and wrote that: "So I guess drugs are okay now right? Just to forget about some boy/girl? Logic".[53]
"Habits (Stay High)" received the accolade for Song of the Year at the Grammis Awards of 2015.[54] At the ASCAP Pop Music Awards, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) recognized it as one of the most performed songs of 2014.[55] It was also one of the songs condecorated with a Pop Award at the 2015 BMI London Awards.[56] At the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards, the song received a nomination for the Best Lyrics award, but it lost to "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift.[57] It was also nominated for Top Streaming Song (Audio) at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.[58]
Chart performance
The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It was kept from number one by Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off", which locked up the top two spots on the Hot 100 as "Habits" reached number three. The song stayed in the top ten for ten weeks. As of February 2015, the song has sold 3 million copies in the United States.[59] It also peaked at number three on the Canadian Hot 100 chart and has sold 160.000 copies in the country.

Music videos
First version
On 1 February 2013, Motellet Film announced on their Twitter account that they were shooting a music video for Tove Lo.[60] On 27 February, they announced that they had finished it and posted a photo of Lo on the set.[61] The duo directed the video, while the singer co-directed it and wrote the script.[62] Swedish website PSL premiered it on 15 March 2013,[13][15] while the singer posted it on her YouTube channel two days later.[63]
The video begins with the singer's memories from a hangover, as images of whiskey, a shoe in a chandelier, and her making out with a man flash on the screen. She walks into a bar to get a bottle of whiskey, and drinks with a man. In the following scene, she is seen in a tea party with four other women and the waitresses, where they drink champagne amongst an array of cakes and cupcakes. As the video flashes white, it is shown a glimpse of the other women's fantasies. Then, Lo becomes drunk, takes her shirt off, smears cake on her face, pours champagne on herself and starts to dance with her guests and the waitresses. In the following scene, she makes out with the man she was drinking with. At the end of the video, she is at home, vomiting into a sink. Throughout the video are interspersed scenes of Lo in a dark room, with mascara dripping from her eyes while doing activities such as blowing bubble gum, eating melting ice cream, and smoking a cigarette. Greg White of So So Gay said that the video is "a genuine visual representation of the pain and behaviour behind the song",[19] while Jenssdrunk of Pigeons and Planes called it "a beautiful mess".[18] As of 14 March 2014, it received 529,932 views on YouTube.[64] However, it was made private that same month,[65] making it unavailable to view.[66]
Second version
The second music video for "Habits (Stay High)" was directed by Motellet Film. It was filmed at a Swedish club for three days,[67] where the singer spent time with three friends who were asked to "have a few drinks and make out" with her.[68] The directors filmed several footage because there was not a specific "direction".[69] Lo found it difficult to shot the video;[70] she had to walk around with a 22 pound camera strapped around her waist for the three days of the recording. She also stated that it was "draining" to represent the pain she felt when she wrote the track.[68] At one point during the recording, she was drunk and tired, so she decided to go into the bathroom stall. She explained: "I was wasted and tired and it was a tough recording and I really just went into the bathroom and sat there by myself. There weren’t any people around then and I was just really alone in that stall. I just sat there and thought of anything that was happening during that time. The tears just came".[68] She also confessed that she barely remembers half of the recording.[67] On 19 February 2014, she posted a teaser of the video on her Facebook account.[71] On 17 March 2014, the music video was released on Lo's VEVO channel on YouTube,[72] and the next day, it was released on the iTunes Store.[73]
The video begins with Lo waking up at a friend's house after a night of partying. Then, she returns home, where she recovers from her hangover and prepares for another night of partying while trying on numerous outfits. She meets with her friends and goes to a club, where she gets drunk and starts to make out with them. Then, she goes to the bathroom stall alone and starts to cry. After that, she returns home and collapses into her bed. Throughout the video, there are interspersed scenes of Lo staring into the camera, where she lip syncs the lyrics of the song.[72] Miles Raymer of Entertainment Weekly called it a "clever" video that "showcases Lo’s artfully complicated party-girl image as she recreates some of the debauchery in her lyrics, as well as some of its after-effects".[69] Samantha Lizzio ranked it at number five on her list of the "20 Biggest Videos of 2014" on VH1.[74] It won the accolade for Best Alternative/Rock video at the 2014 VEVO Hot This Year Awards.[75]
