Higher Than Heaven is the fifth studio album by English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding. It was released on 7 April 2023, through Polydor Records, serving as a follow-up to her fourth studio album, Brightest Blue (2020). Written largely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Goulding deliberately shifted the album's focus away from the deep introspection of its predecessor, describing it as her "least personal album" to date in favour of escapism and pure thrills.
