"Two High" was the lead single from Let the Record Play, Moon Taxi's fifth studio album, and a bright, easygoing slice of alt-rock with the whole band on the writing credit: Wes Bailey, Tommy Putnam, Tyler Ritter, Trevor Terndrup and Spencer Thomson, with guitarist Thomson producing. The title began as an autocorrect slip. Bailey's phone autocorrected "too high" into "two high", which conjured up the peace sign, and singer Trevor Terndrup took that sign as the spark for a song about hope and acceptance.
A video followed in November 2017, the track has piled up more than 64 million streams on Spotify, and in 2021 the band cut it again as a duet with the Hawaiian ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro for his album Jake & Friends.
