"Not On Drugs" is the second single released off of "Queen of the Clouds". She explains that it is the first time someone falls in love. which is why the song takes a direct contrast to her situation in “Habits (Stay High)”. She doesn’t have to indulge in drugs to keep her feeling alive, instead his love does that for her.

In an interview with Untitled Magazine, Tove explained:

"“Not on Drugs“ obviously is a funny follow-up after “Habits (Stay High)“. It’s one of the more euphoric songs, which I’m happy I can write as well. It’s not all black and dark. But it’s more of where I compare the feeling of having the ultimate high to being in love, which I think are very similar. I wrote that with the same guy that I wrote “Idle Minds“ and “Got Love“ with, also on the album. He’s a Swedish guy and is the most artistic person I’ve ever met. He’s very hard to work with, but he’s amazing, so it’s worth it, haha. Even though he takes a while to get his tone down."

She also said in an interview with MTV UK, according to Songfacts:

"It’s about the happy kind of love where you feel like there’s nothing that can get you higher than the person you’re with and have these feelings for."
