"Deep in the Water" is a song by American rapper and singer Don Toliver. It was released through Cactus Jack Records, We Run It Inc and Atlantic Records as the second single from his fourth studio album, Hardstone Psycho, on March 14, 2024. The song was mainly produced by Buddy Ross, OhRoss, IWantDior, Broadday, and 206Derek and additionally produced by Strae1k and 1Tenesoh, and Toliver wrote it with the main producers alongside John Mitchell; Joy Orbison and Léa Fourlin are also credited as songwriters as the song contains samples from the former's 2021 song, "Better", which features the latter. "Deep in the Water" is an R&B song that sees Toliver talk about his love for his girlfriend, Colombian-American singer Kali Uchis, and their then-newborn son, as he sings in the chorus: "Deep in the water, far as I can see / Deep in the water, it's just you and me / Deep in the water, far as I can see / Deep in the water, through your pregnancy".[1]
