Habits


"Habits (Stay High)" is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo, originally released as an independent single in March 2013 before appearing on her debut EP Truth Serum and debut studio album Queen of the Clouds. Written with producers Ludvig Söderberg and Jakob Jerlström, the track blends melancholic pop with a minimalist arrangement. For electric guitarists, it offers an accessible entry point into indie-pop production, with clean tones and subtle chord work that translate well from its synth-driven original format.

  • The song was recorded between 2012 and 2013 at Warner/Chappell Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
  • Tove Lo first self-released the track simply as 'Habits' before the 'Stay High' subtitle was widely adopted.
  • The track was co-written and produced by Ludvig Söderberg and Jakob Jerlström, working under the name the Struts.
