Cold Water (feat. Justin Bieber & MØ) - Major Lazer(#ad)
"Cold Water" is Major Lazer's biggest hit to date charting higher than his signature song "Lean On"... featuring Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber and Danish electro-pop artist MØ.
The lyrics for "Cold Water" were written by Diplo, Benny Blanco, Ed Sheeran, Jamie Scott, Philip Meckseper and Henry Allen.With healthy contributions from Justin Bieber and MØ too.
Released in July 2016,the single splashed cold water all over the charts,taking the no.1 position in a matter of days, becoming a hit even before it was launched.
When Justin Bieber tweeted about his collaboration with Major Lazer and MØ back in March 2016,when his hit single "Sorry" was rocking the charts, the support he received from his Twitter and Instagram followers was phenomenal.
The teasers were released in the first week of July,within a fortnight of the first release of teasers, the song was in the market and the audience were in love with the track..as evident from iTunes sales and Spotify streaming data.
Debuting at the 2nd spot Billboard 200 charts, selling 924,000 in it's first month in the U.S.
"Cold Water" would also dislodge Drake's "One Dance" from the top of British charts, pouring cold water on Drake's ambitions of becoming the UK's longest-running number one, a recording held by Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" for more than 25 years and still stands good.
The official version was later remixed, adding new verses and guest vocals by the famous rapper Gucci Mane.
The remixed version was not out until late August 2016 where Mane has replaced few vocals by Justin Bieber though this version was not released on iTunes.
This mid-tempo dance hall flavored single has Euro Club music influence written all over it.
"Cold Water" has vibrant electronic chords with matching coastal beats coupled with heavy pop influence, leaving a lasting imprint on one’s mind... that goes well with sugar coated lyrics which gets easily wrapped around the listener's tongue.
This song was the first number one single for Major Lazer and MØ, who had tasted success in 2015 with "Lean On" which had sold over 11 million copies across the globe, certified platinum in U.S, U.K, Spain, Belgium, Denmark,Italy, New Zealand and Australia.
For Justin Bieber, this is his fourth single that ruled the charts at the top 5 spots, although not his best selling single..that honor truly belongs to "Sorry" , "Baby", "What Do You Mean" , "Where Are U Now" and "BoyFriend".

Album - Music Is the Weapon
Everybody gets high sometimes, you know
What else can we do when we're feeling low?
So take a deep breath and let it go
You shouldn't be drowning on your own
And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I hope you know
I won't let go
I'll be your life line tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your life line tonight
Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know?
It's how we learn, how we grow
And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old
You shouldn't be fighting on your own
And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I hope you know
I won't let go (I won't let go, no no, no more)
I'll be your life line tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your life line tonight
Come on, come on
Save me from my rocking boat
I just wanna stay afloat
I'm all alone
And I hope, I hope
Someone's gonna take me home
Somewhere I can rest my soul
I need to know you won't let go
I won't let go (I won't let go, no no, no no no no)
I'll be your life line tonight
You won't let go
I'll be your life line tonight
I won't let go
I won't let go
