Garrett Alden’s latest single “You Get Me High” (released April 11, 2025) is a vibrant celebration of joy and connection. Over a breezy three-minute run, Alden blends bright pop instrumentation with a warm, uplifting atmosphere that feels like a burst of energy on a sunny afternoon.
The production shines with clean, polished arrangements. Percussion and synths lock in a smooth, steady rhythm as subtle guitar layers add texture and depth. In the official music video, directed by Carter Wells, the visuals wonderfully echo the song’s core message: rediscovering whatever elevates you in life. That theme resonates throughout, giving the song a universal appeal whether you’re chasing love, creativity, or that perfect moment of bliss.
What truly stands out is Alden’s ability to craft a chorus that sticks. It’s catchy without feeling overproduced, and the music video enhances the experience by visually celebrating the small, meaningful highs in everyday life. It’s clear this release is more than just a pop track. It’s a statement of positivity.
In my view, this song marks a confident step forward in Alden’s emerging catalog, matching past releases like “Listen to the Moon” in sincerity while bringing an extra dose of euphoria. “You Get Me High” is not only enjoyable, it also leaves you feeling genuinely uplifted and that’s the best kind of pop song.
