High was the fourth single and the last from British rock band Feeder's "Polythene" album of 1997.

Originally this wasn't on the album until it was re-issued in October of the same year.

Many fans of the band regard this track as the one that put Feeder on the map and begun their ascendancy, and this is also the opinion of frontman Grant Nicholas himself. It also was the first Feeder single to be playlisted on BBC Radio 1 getting extensive blanket radio play, making the B-list.

The single was their UK top 40 breakthrough making #24.

It also is regarded as the song that kept the band in the USA for 11 months during 1998, touring with Everclear and going on their own tour of small venues giving the band a cult following in the country.

The track was featured on the film "Can't Hardly Wait" in 1998, and reached #24 on the US rock chart.
