"High-Fiving MF" is one of the singles Local H pulled from As Good as Dead, the 1996 album they hustled back into the studio to make after their debut, Ham Fisted, sold poorly and Island Records started leaning on them. The credits keep it lean: Scott Lucas sings and plays guitar, Joe Daniels drums, and the two of them wrote it together. Steve Haigler produced it with the band and engineered, and Tom Lord-Alge mixed it.
The album around it is a concept record about dead-end small-town life, drawn from the band's roots in Zion, Illinois, and it turned into a surprise success and Local H's best seller, though it was "Bound for the Floor", not this one, that carried it there.
