Background

In a statement, Guy and Howard Lawrence said, "We always wanted to work with rappers, we just didn't know any and we had no means of contacting them… there's not a lot of rappers in Reigate [Surrey, hometown]. Writing My High with Amine was a lot a fun, he's hilarious and may as well be a comedian. He writes so quickly and it's amazing to watch. He brought so much energy to this already very energetic tune that when we got home to London in January there was only one guy capable of matching it… Slowthai."{{Cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/disclosures-new-track-my-high-featuring-slowthai-and-amine-2698707|title=Listen to Disclosure's new track 'My High' featuring Slowthai and Aminé|website=NME|date=30 June 2020|accessdate=11 July 2020}}{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/disclosure-amine-slowthai-my-high-1022424/|title=Hear Disclosure, Aminé, Slowthai Team Up on 'My High'|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=30 June 2020|accessdate=11 July 2020}}

It follows a car accident victim as he tries to get medical attention and instead is thrust forth while on a stretcher through an increasingly absurd series of settings including a family dinner, a house party and a dollar store. Aminé and Slowthai both make appearances.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/9412143/disclosure-my-high-video|title=The Video for Disclosure's New Single 'My High' Is an Absurd Medical Emergency|magazine=Billboard|date=30 June 2020|accessdate=11 July 2020}}
