The song was released on 25 March 2013 as Tove Lo's second single, and later re-released on 6 December 2013 under the title "Habits (Stay High)". The song was released in the United States on 14 April 2014 as the lead single for ''Truth Serum'' and for ''Queen of the Clouds''. Musically, "Habits" is a pop and electropop song that details the protagonist's attempts to forget about her previous significant other through drinking and other hedonistic pleasures. "Habits" became a sleeper hit, reaching number three on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the United States; it marked her first hit single on that chart. Tove Lo is the highest-charting Swedish artist on that chart since "The Sign" by Ace of Base peaked at number one in 1994. The song found more success worldwide as a remix by Hippie Sabotage, where it reached the top ten in Australia and the United Kingdom and other countries in Europe. == Background and release == "Habits (Stay High)" was written by Tove Lo alongside Ludvig Söderberg and Jakob Jerlström and produced by Söderberg and Jerlström, under the production name The Struts. According to Lo, "Habits (Stay High)" is the song from ''Truth Serum'' that "means most" to her because it's "the most directly honest" and its process of writing was "huge" for her. Initially, the verses of the song were part of a poem written by Lo when she was during a "really bad time" in a relationship. Later, Lo's boyfriend joined a Buddhist movement but she refused to join, wich lead the relationship to and end. After that, she started using drugs and drinking in order to forget him. Months after the relationship ended, she was staying at a friend's apartment in New York, during the Sandy storm, on 2012. When the apartment lost electricity and heat, Lo went to stay at her friend's studio in Midtown, where she wrote the chorus. On 11 December 2012, she wrote on her Facebook account that she didn't get to finish too much in New York and that she was working in the studio with The Struts in Sweden. The singer tried to re-record the vocals, but she decided to keep the demo because "it was really coming from the heart". The Struts co-wrote, produced and programmed the track and played the keys. Filip Runesson played the strings, while Lars Norgren mixed the song and Björn Engelmann mastered it. In an interview with Coup de Main Magazine, she said that "(writing "Habits", I was thinking about ) my way of getting through a hard time in 'the best' possible way. It’s a big relief to just think 'fuck it all' for a while. We all have to be so perfect, and absolutely no one can live up to it". In an interview with Bullett Media, she confesed that, during that time, she was "in a dark place, and wanted to numb the pain anyway I could". In another with ''Paste Magazine'', she told that she was "in that zone of going crazy and hiding the tears with substances of different sorts". On 13 March 2013, the singer released the song's artwork with the caption "Soon" on her Facebook account. Two days later, she released the track, under the title of "Habits". It was her second independently-released single, after "Love Ballad". The song drew the attention of music blogs, wich gained Lo online following. Welsh singer Marina and the Diamonds called the song "fucking brilliant" through her Twitter account. On May 2013, American duo MS MR featured the track on their Soundcloud mixtape ''Track Addict Vol. III''. Lo re-released the song under the title of "Habits (Stay High)" on 6 December 2013, throughout Universal Music, as the second single from Lo's debut extended play ''Truth Serum'' as well as the lead single from her debut studio album ''Queen of the Clouds''. It was digitally released in the US on 14 January 2014. On 17 June 2014, it was sent to US contemporary hit radio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Habits (Tove Lo song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
