Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
"Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" is a song by the British rock band Arctic Monkeys, released in 2013 as part of their album AM. The track features a catchy melody and explores themes of loneliness and the complexities of modern relationships, particularly the tendency to reach out only during moments of vulnerability or intoxication.
The lyrics depict a conversation where the narrator questions why their partner only contacts them when under the influence. This reflects a broader commentary on communication in the digital age, where connections can often feel superficial or driven by immediate desires rather than genuine interest.
