"Cold Water" is a song by American electronic dance music production group Major Lazer featuring vocals from Canadian singer Justin Bieber and Danish singer MØ. The song was released on July 22, 2016 as the lead single from their debut greatest hits album Major Lazer Essentials. It became Major Lazer's third collaboration with MØ after "Lean On" and "Lost". The song is about coming together to face adversity and to say that you have your partner’s back no matter what the situation is. It is a mid-tempo song that includes dancehall and Euro club music influences while featuring "vibrant electronic chords and coastal beats with a hook-heavy pop influence" and acoustic guitars.
