Following its recent debut at the Prime Minister’s Olympic and Paralympic dinner in Melbourne, today ARIA Award-winning artist Jessica Mauboy unveils “Higher”, the uplifting and uniting Australian Team song for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

“It’s an absolute honour to lend my voice in support of our incredible Aussie athletes” shares Mauboy. “Higher” captures the spirit and energy of our amazing team, and I know I speak for all Aussies when I say we are thrilled to celebrate their dedication, passion, and the pride they bring to us all.”
In exciting news, Mauboy will travel to Paris where she will celebrate and cheer on the Australian athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympic games. Mauboy will also perform “Higher” on Wednesday, July 24 at the launch of the Australian Olympic Committee’s Flag Bearer Ceremony, held at the French Mint (Accueil Monnaie de Paris).

The origins of the Australian Team Song began with musician and producer Will Hyde who approached the Australian Olympic Committee to develop this creative project. Together, Hyde, with the support of manager Sky McElroy of Pack, strategist Samuel Koh of Kohlver, and the Australian Olympic Committee invited Australian athletes to shape the theme, spirit and lyrical content of their Australian Team Song.
Penned by Australian songwriters Shannon Busch and Stephen Mowat, “Higher” immediately resonated with the Australian Olympic Committee for its powerful lyrics that reflect the commitment, resilience and aspirations of the Australian athletes.
“Warner Music is proud to celebrate the dedication and spirit of our Olympians with the Australian Team song “Higher” says Dan Rosen, Warner Music Australasia President. “Jessica Mauboy’s soaring vocals deliver an inspiring song for our athletes as they go for gold at the 2024 Paris Olympic games.”
Chair of the Australian Olympic Committee and four-time Olympian Cate Campbell adds, “Lyrically it speaks to the reality of an Olympian’s path to the Games and melodically, it’s a killer track. It’s uplifting and a great chorus – I can just see our Olympic athletes in Paris belting this out, some better than others.”

As our Australian Olympic Athletes return to home soil on Wednesday, August 14, Mauboy will deliver a special performance of “Higher” during the homecoming ceremony, broadcast live on Channel Nine.
“Higher” directly follows Mauboy’s highly acclaimed fifth studio album YOURS FOREVER released in February this year. Written and recorded on home soil, the new album explores themes of love, hope, heartbreak, and resilience which further propels Mauboy’s introspective song writing and infectious pop melodies that audiences have come to know and love.

In addition to “Higher”, Mauboy features on the new single “Won’t Stop” by 3% which is out NOW. The accompanying music video is available to watch here. Mauboy is also gearing up for a string of live gigs, including The Yours Forever shows at The Palms, Crown Melbourne, on September 20 and 21, and at The Manly Barracks on Saturday, October 5.
