After dropping their albums in 2016 and being relatively quiet in 2017, Ab-Soul and Anderson .Paak are back on the scene with their first collaboration to date. The song is laced with water-related lyrics, hence the song’s title. The song title could be a play on the phrase, “blood is thicker than water.”

The instrumentation has a sound that resembles the dripping of water which fits with the song title and some of its dark lyrics.
