Heights is the fifth studio album by American pop rock band Walk the Moon, released on November 12, 2021, through RCA Records.[3] The album is Walk the Moon's first studio album to be recorded since bassist Kevin Ray left the band in December 2020.[4]

## Background

[edit]

On July 14, 2021, the band released the lead single "Can You Handle My Love??", alongside two promotional singles "I'm Good" and "Giants".[5] In frontman Nicholas Petricca's words, "the album is buttressed by songs that are eight or nine years old, and that the band writes a lot of songs for each record, so there's a lot of material that doesn't get used, and it's not because we don't love those babies. Sometimes it takes a while for them to grow up, or for us to find the right way to really bring them to life."[6]

In September 2021, the band released their second single, "Fire in Your House", which features South-African musician Johnny Clegg, along with his son Jesse. It was released alongside the promotional single "DNA (The Keys)".

On October 27, 2021, the band released "Rise Up" as the third single from the album. The album's final single, "Giants", was released on May 10, 2022.
