"Highest in the Room" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper Travis Scott. It was released as a single on October 4, 2019.[3] It was released in a variety of formats, including on 7-inch vinyl, cassette and as a CD single.[4] It debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Scott's second US number-one single.[5]
Background
The song was first used in Scott's then girlfriend Kylie Jenner's "Kybrows" commercial on April 29, 2019, before Scott debuted the song during his set at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami on May 10-12, 2019. On August 31, 2019, Scott played a portion of the song at a concert that included a verse from Lil Baby[6] but was ultimately cut in the final version because Scott wanted to express the breakup with himself and Jenner on his own.
Promotion
Scott officially announced the track's release through social media on September 30, posting three covers for the song as well as a pre-order link and captioning the post "See u on the 4th".[7]
A music video was released on October 4, 2019 in YouTube, and the music video is directed by Dave Meyers and Travis Scott himself, while it was produced by Nathan Scherrer, Randy Donaldson, and Sam Lecca.[8]
