News - SNL: Watch Dijon perform 'Higher!', a medley from Dijon's latest album

Skip to main content December 7, 2025 Singer, songwriter and producer Dijon debuted on Saturday Night Live with performances of the first three tracks of his latest album. Dijon opened with “Higher!” from Baby, which came out in August to positive reviews. “Throughout the album, fragments of sounds — fiery adlibs, Golden Age hip-hop samples, whizzing, inverted vocal riffs — all jut out like beams of light piercing through the pitch black of night,” Rolling Stone‘s Jeff Ihaza wrote in a review. After his 2021 debut album, Absolutely, Dijon told The FADER that he would “love to engage in the pop world with some of the more messy, far out sonic choices.” He explained: “…[W]hat I’d like to see in five years is hopefully having some sort of ability to at least take a stab at other things that kind of take me out of my comfort zone, but maybe putting a different spin or a fingerprint or pulling out different versions of songwriting for people.” Now 33, Dijon is coming off his work on Justin Bieber‘s Swag and Swag II, which came out a month before and after Baby, respectively. For his contributions to songs like “Daisies” and “Yukon,” he is nominated for Producer of the Year at next February’s Grammys.
