So High

## ***So High***Single by Doja Cat

"**So High**" is the debut single by Doja Cat. The early version of the song was exclusively to SoundCloud on November 8, 2012 at the age of 17.

It was released remastered and officially on March 13, 2014, and appears as the third track for her debut EP *Purrr!*.

## Background

Although earlier versions of the song were available to YouTube as early as 2012, the single was released on the streaming platform SoundCloud in November of 2012, coming to prominence next year when she later signed to RCA Records with a joint venture deal with Kemosabe Records. She signed to them in late 2013 but the deal was finalised in early 2014.

## Music video

The official music video was released on March 25, 2014. Filmed in the salt flats of California, Doja Cat described it as somewhat a "high-budget" project for an artist as small as herself. In the video, she is dressed as a Hindu goddess and primarily stays seated on a lotus-styled throne while doing flowy arm movements. She revealed in an interview that her child experience of practising Hinduism influenced the aesthetics used in the video, stating: "The world of the video for 'So High' comes from my personal life, my past, it is not something that came out of nowhere." Doja Cat would later become a subject of cancel culture as she began gaining popularity, with some people accusing the music video for "So High" of "sexualizing and appropriating Hindu culture". In response to this, she stated in December 2021 that "If I knew not to do that, I probably wouldn’t have done it [...] When something is so sacred to many people, I think it’s good to be more sensitive about it and just kind of back away."

## SoundCloud version

Before the official release of "So High" as Doja Cat's debut single and the first single from her debut EP *Purrr!*, it was released a year and a half earlier, in 2012, on SoundCloud in a low-quality version. This version is also a little different from the official one.

## Remixes and media

"So High" received remix versions by both American producer StéLouse, and Dutch DJ San Holo. At the time of its release in 2014, the song caught the attention of people such as Australian DJ Elizabeth Rose, labelmate Becky G, and American singer Billie Eilish when she was just 12 years old. The official music video has amassed 37 million views on YouTube as of November 2020.
