"Highest in the Room" dropped as a Travis Scott single on October 4, 2019, pressed onto seven-inch vinyl, cassette and CD as well, and it went straight in at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, his second chart-topper at home after "Sicko Mode". Mike Dean, Nik Frascona and OZ produced it, Dean mixed it, and Scott is credited with the recording, a woozy slab of trap built for late nights.
The version on JACKBOYS is a different animal: a remix with Spanish singer Rosalía and Lil Baby, released on December 27, 2019, the same day as the compilation Scott made with his Cactus Jack crew, which left the original off. Both guests appear among the writers, and the remix went to Italian hit radio the following January. The song also earned a Grammy nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance.
