San Holo and I wrote the beat together, mostly around some piano parts that re recorded live. It had a few different toplines on it, but I sent it to Lizzy Land because I thought her tone would work perfectly for it. We were talking about imperfection and how to embrace that. Black Water itself represents a metaphor for the realisation that you can find most of the answers to life’s questions from looking inward rather than out. "It was an amazing experience to work with musicians as talented as Daktyl and Lizzy Land! Getting to create with artists that I love is such an honor, and I'm so happy with how the song turned out." - San Holo "Black Water is about having all the answers you need inside. In your darkest moments, when you feel alone without hope, there is this pool of infinite, eternal knowing that spills out in front of you. A mirror reflecting what you already know back to you. Daktyl and I wrote “black water” while talking about expectations. The idea that perfect does and doesn’t exist. Like nature or the night sky. Imperfection is a human opinion and ultimately you hold the key to your own happiness.” - Lizzy Land
