We immediately connect with the timeless energy of the track, and intentional depth that Jacob writes and performs with. In essence, the song is about feeling stuck in an unhappy or uncertain world, but choosing not to give in to the negativity.

Instead, Jacob invites us to find purpose, strength, and direction. This manifests through faith, love, and loyalty to someone or something bigger than ourselves. It is a call for us to connect with each other and the universe.

The concept of going higher and the hook itself point to notions of determination and devotion. This feels more important now than ever, considering the current reality that humanity is faced with. The song encourages courage and self-improvement at a time when we need it the most. The track feels very zeitgeist with this in mind. Overall, it’s about pushing through, no matter how hard things get. Jacob says it is about “finding your purpose whereby being part of something larger than oneself.”
