Taio Cruz feat. Kylie Minogue - Higher

"Higher" is the fifth single from English singer-songwriter "Taio Cruz's" second studio album "Rokstarr". It was written and produced by Cruz and "Sandy Vee", and was released on 26 November 2010. This song was originally written for Australian singer "Kylie Minogue's" album "Aphrodite", but plans fell through.
