"High Time" is the third and final single from the 1983 album, Kilroy Was Here, by Styx. It reached number 48 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.^[1] According to a 2009 interview Dennis DeYoung did with Styxcollector.com, "High Time" was released as the third single at the last minute by A&M Records. This happened because Styx member Tommy Shaw refused to have his song "Haven't We Been Here Before", which had an accompanying music video directed by Steve Barron, released. There was also animosity over the band refusing his choice of a live version of the Kilroy Was Here track "Cold War" to be included on the band's 1984 live album Caught in the Act, but instead was only released as a video. Because of Shaw's actions, in part, momentum on the Kilroy album stalled, and it quickly fell out of popularity.
