"Hi High" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Loona. It was released on August 20, 2018, as the title track of Loona's EP [+ +], by Blockberry Creative.[1] It is the second single released by Loona as a full twelve-member group.[2]

Composition

The lyrics were written by Jaden Jeong, MonoTree's GDLO, and MonoTree's Hwang Hyun. The music was composed by Mayu Wakisaka, MonoTree's GDLO, and MonoTree's Hwang Hyun.[3] According to Loona, "Hi High" has the double meaning of saying hi to the now-complete lineup of the 12 members in addition to representing Loona's goal of climbing to the top of the music scene.[4] It can also been seen as a reference to the LOONAverse, as all 12 girls, or 3 'worlds' come together.

Billboard described "Hi High" as a "bright electro-pop song full of quirky beats and synths" with an "upbeat chorus".[2] Furthermore, Billboard stated that the "track picks up and drops momentum frequently", allowing it to highlight the different singing styles of each member of Loona.[2] The Kpop Herald also commented on how the song "delivers the bubbly energy of the band",[1] and TenAsia similarly characterized the song as energetic.[5] Hong Dam-young's album review in The Korea Herald remarked that "Hi High" is fast-paced with a "vivacious tempo and explosive vocals."[6] However, Hong criticized the writing of the song's lyrics as a "major drawback" due to some of its "silly lines".[6]

Background and release

A teaser for the music video of the song was released on August 17, 2018, and showed the members of Loona running towards somewhere.[7][8] Various teaser images were also revealed in the lead up to the album's release.[7] On August 20, "Hi High" was released alongside the album + + as its title track.[1]

Commercial performance

"Hi High" peaked at number 11 on the US World Digital Songs Sales, marking their second consecutive entry on the chart as a full group.[9]

Music video

The song's release on August 20, 2018, was accompanied by a music video that was directed by the production company Digipedi, which also worked on many of Loona's previous music videos, including for "Favorite".[2] The video is colorful and depicts the members of Loona each dressed in a schoolgirl style, dancing and running.[1][2] At the end of the video, Loona member HeeJin jumps upward toward the sky, portraying a sense of positivity and enthusiasm.[10]

The music video reached three million views in three days after its debut,[11] and it later surpassed ten million views eight days after its debut.[10][12]
