“Higher Ground” was Denmark’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. The song is performed by (Jonas Flodager) Rasmussen and written by the Swedish duo Niclas Arn & Karl Eurén.

“Higher Ground” is an interpretation of an old Viking legend where Magnus Erlendsson refused to fight in the Battle of Anglesey Sound in 1098.

Arranger of the national contest, Mads Enggaard,
described the song to Danish broadcaster, DR:

The message is strong and forever applicable; an invitation to seek peaceful solutions to conflicts and is inspired by the legend of Viking Magnus Erlendsson.

The song won the national final with 50% of the votes and went on to get the 9th place at the Eurovision contest with 226 points.
