Cannot turn off Vim text highlighting

Question

So for some reason, after copying and pasting text from Sublimetext into VIM, VIM is now auto-highlighting text as I type:

VIM highlighted text

This highlighting persists even when I change the colorscheme (this is with :colorscheme blue)

VI highlighted text with new colorscheme

The only things I can find online about this regard syntax highlighting and search highlighting, not text highlighting - how do I turn this off? I just want my text to output as normal without it being highlighted some weird color.
