Background
Garrix's label had announced via Twitter the song would be immediately available for release "the moment (Garrix) plays it at #Tomorrowland" during his headlining closing performance.[7][8] It was premiered at the Tomorrowland 2018 music festival in Belgium as the closing song on 29 July 2018.[5] It was also released at midnight on the same day.[9]
"High on Life" is one of the two songs announced by Garrix for release since his last single "Ocean" with Khalid, the other being a collaboration with Justin Mylo that would be released in September.[10]

Production
The song has been musically compared to Garrix's previous singles such as "Dragon", "Lions in the Wild" and "Forever", as an "energetic and emotion-filled progressive house track".[2] The song is noted as a "return to his roots" in reference to Garrix's regular crossover musical style of pop music to his typical big room house and progressive house.[11]
Described as an uplifting summer song that is a "synth-heavy festival house tune", the song's production has been compared to the style of late Swedish DJ Avicii, who had worked with Garrix for the song "Waiting for Love".[12][13]
