It was released through Sumerian Records on July 7, 2009.[3] A Higher Place debuted at number 73 on the Billboard 200, selling over 6,000 copies.[4] It was the first album to have any creative input outside of the band's mastermind and drummer, Cameron Losch.

An earlier instrumental version of this song can be found under the title "Glass Bluntz". Though the two versions are quite different, they share the same hook that "Exist" is mostly noted for.
