"Higher" is a song by Cuban-American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan, released in November 1996 by Epic Records. It served as the fourth single from her seventh studio album, Destiny (1996). It was written by Lawrence Dermer and co-produced by him with Emilio Estefan, Jr. In the United States and Canada, it was released as a double-sided single along with "I'm Not Giving You Up". However, in other countries, it was released solely as a single. It peaked at numbers five and 11 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales and Hot Dance Club Play charts. The music video for the song is not available in its original version on the album but can be found in the "Big Red Video Remix" as part of the video compilation Don't Stop!. During live performances at some concerts, the song is often blended with Estefan's Latin hit "Tres Deseos".
