The album version of this song contains an extra verse and runs 30 seconds longer than the single version. The unique wah-Clavinet sound in the song was achieved with a Mu-tron envelope filter pedal. The bass is a Moog synthesizer. Via overdubs, Wonder played all instruments on the track, including drums.
In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the song #261 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, offering the following explanation: "'Ground' was recorded just before Wonder was involved in a near-fatal accident in August '73 that left him in a coma. Early in Wonder's recovery, his road manager sang the melody of 'Ground' into the singer's ear; Wonder responded by moving his fingers with the music."

Higher Ground told the story of a Mt. Horizon High School, a sanctuary for troubled teens.

Students tackled issues like drugs, sexual / verbal abuse, self-mutilation, eating disorders, gang violence, neglect, and suicide attempts -- but the series never adopted the "issue of the week" style common to teen shows. While navigating perilous action sequences and romantic entanglements, the students (and some of the teachers) found Mt. Horizon's world much safer than their turbulent home lives had been.
