<P> "Habits (Stay High)" is a pop and electropop song . In an interview with AP Entertainment, the singer stated that the song's lyrics describe her behaviour during the time she wrote it, when she was devastated and trying to overcome a former relationship . She also remarked that the main theme of "Habits (Stay High)" is the suffering she experienced despite her attempts to numb the pain . Echoing this thought, Lo further confessed that: "I can't lie . What I'm singing about is my life . It's the truth . I've had moments where (drug - taking) has been a bigger part than it should be . It's hard to admit to, and I could filter it or find another metaphor for it--but it doesn't feel right to me ." According to the artist, the songs on the Truth Serum EP talk about her most intense failed relationship . Following the narrative of the EP, Lo indicated that the track talks about the part when the relationship is over and she is trying to get on with her life in "not the healthiest way". The recording was also included in "The Pain" section of Lo's debut studio album, Queen of the Clouds, a concept album that describes the pattern of the singer's relationships . </P> <P> According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, the song is composed in the key of B ♭ major and set in common time signature, with it having a dance pop tempo of 110 beats per minute . Lo's vocals span from the low note of B ♭ to the high note of C. The song has a minimal and upbeat electronic instrumentation which consists of drums, bass, backup vocals and Lo's voice . The song starts with the words "oh oh", which repeat after every sentence of the verses . The chorus contains the millennial whoop, a vocal melody repeating on the fifth and third notes in a major scale . Some critics noted a contrast between the track's lyrics and production . Carrie Battan of Pitchfork stated that the song "contrasts a giant hook and chorus with snappy verses filled with quietly distinct, often strange imagery: of (Lo) eating her dinner in the bathtub, getting drunken munchies, seducing dads on playgrounds". Chris Jordan of Asbury Park Press described "Habits (Stay High)" as a "synth - based pop song with a sweeping chorus", but noted that the lyrical content of the track was similar to that of rock' n' roll music . The singer herself stated that: "You can feel the lyrics and the dark and sad but if you combine it with, brings a little to the dark humor as well . I like the thing of dancing along and then listening to what I'm actually saying ." </P> <P> The song's lyrics delve into Lo's hedonistic attempts to forget her former boyfriend . According to Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal, the narrator describes her attempts to overcome a failed relationship through binge eating and alcohol, as indicated in the lyrics about having the munchies, eating Twinkies, and throwing up during the first verse . In the chorus, she sings about drug abuse: "You're gone and I gotta stay high / All the time, to keep you off my mind". According to Adam R. Holz of Plugged In, in the bridge, Lo approaches the theme of "knowing--at some level--just how empty and self - obliterating her choices really are", as she talks about needing to take someone home in order to relieve her suffering . The singer confessed to iHeart Radio that the song's bridge is her favorite part of the track because "that just says everything (that the) song is about for me". However, Billboard's Jeremy D. Larson considered the song's message untrue because "staying high does not keep anyone off your mind". </P> <P> "Habits (Stay High)" was well received by most critics . Harley Brown of Billboard wrote that the track is "one of the most easily identifiable pop songs (she has) heard in recent memory: everyone's gotten high, maybe eaten too many Twinkies, and regretted life decisions, but not everyone makes a really superb song about it". Pitchfork's Carrie Battam stated that the track's hook and production make the lyrics "sound gracefully sad instead of tragic". In her review of Queen of the Clouds, Battam called it "a big, sticky song, but not so big that it stuns your senses or numbs you into enjoyment". Ewald Arndt of FDRMX said that "Habits (Stay High)" is "so fun to listen to" despite its sad themes . AllMusic's Heather Phares called it "the Queen of the Clouds's standout track, while Sam Lansky of Idolator stated that it "has a little of the texture of Kesha's no - fucks - given party - girl pop but with the languorous sadness of Robyn" and that "It'll get stuck in your head, which is right where it deserves to be ." Nick Murray labeled it as Truth Serum's best track, and compared it with the music of American rapper Kendrick Lamar . </P>
