"'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.Whitburn, Joel (2004). 'The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits', 8th Edition (Billboard Publications) In a 2009 interview, Dennis DeYoung revealed that "High Time" was released as the third single at the last minute by A&M Records. An expensive video for "Haven't We Been Here Before" was created prior to Shaw's issues and never was shown on MTV. Instead, Shaw wanted a live version of "Cold War" to be the third single. A&M Records finally released "High Time" as the single, with little promotion and no video. Its relative poor performance killed momentum on the "Kilroy" album.

'Cash Box' called it a "preachy condemnation of morality mongers" and a "strong defense of freedom of expression."
