== General information ==
''Written by: [[Amy Lynn Lee|A. Lee]] and [[Will "Science" Hunt|W. B. Hunt]]''

During a ''Spin'' interview in March 2010, Amy announced the working title of a new song:
{{quote|"Hi-Lo." It's a working title. It's going in an electro-pop direction -- there are no organic instruments. It's a Portishead or Massive Attack direction, and lyrically it's about moving on, but in a very non-confrontational, non-angry way. It's just, 'Hey, everything that happened, I'm over it and I'm not mad at you.'<ref name="spinevalbum" />}}

This song was not included in the final tracklisting of the band's [[Evanescence (album)|third self-titled album]].

''Hi-Lo'' was confirmed to be on [[Synthesis]] when the tracklist was revealed through the album's pre-order on September 15, 2017.

In an article by Revolver, they published that musician and violinist, Lindsey Stirling, makes a guest apperance on the song.<ref name="revolverhilo" /> Amy Lee confirmed it was true in an Evanescence Q&A on Facebook:

{{quote|'''Q:''' How was it working with Lindsey Stirling?

'''Amy:''' She is amazing. I can't WAIT for you to finally hear Hi-Lo, and the amazing new life she brought to the song!!! <ref name="evqanda" />}}

''Hi-Lo'' was premiered live at the first [[Synthesis Live]] show at the Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 14, 2017.

''Hi-Lo'' is explained: <blockquote>After 10 years in the vault it is our pleasure to finally bring this song into the light. It was the first creative collaboration with Will Hunt (Spaceway), Synthesis producer and programmer. After a decade of not quite fitting in, it finally found its rightful home on this project.</blockquote>

== Lyrics ==
I don't know your heart<br>
I don't know where to begin<br>
But I could feel you erasing the rivers I'd drawn in <br>
The more I stood still the faster you were running<br>
You don't know how it feels crawling under your skin<br>
so far, so far away<br>
Don't you know we could be<br>
<br>
High or Low, you never fell beneath me <br>
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you<br>
<br>
I can't be your friend<br>
Hold your hand while you bleed<br>
<br>
There's nothing left to give you <br>
Nothing more I need <br>
Time to let it sleep <br>
Oh, the damage was real <br>
But nothing cut me so deep I could not heal<br>
<br>
Don't you know we could be<br>
High or Low, you never fell beneath me <br>
And I gave up on you, but never forgot you <br>
<br>
High or Low<br>
You never fell beneath me <br>
And I gave up on you <br>
But I never forgot
