[edit] Song history

This song is considered the most 'danceable' song of the entire album, along with "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)".[citation needed] With this song, Gloria revokes her roots and her early music with the rhythms making the song with a feel "a la Conga" or "a la "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You", both songs from her early career.

"Higher" was released a double-side single along with "I'm Not Giving You Up" at U.S. and at Canada, but at other countries was a solely single. The video made for the song is not available as the original version album, only at the "Big Red Video Remix" at the video Don't Stop!.

This song is always mixed with Gloria's smash Latin hit "Tres Deseos" when its performed live at some concerts.
