"Water" is a song by South African singer Tyla, released through Fax and Epic Records on 28 July 2023. The song went viral with a "dance challenge" on TikTok, and charted internationally.

Background

The song gained traction on TikTok when Tyla began posting herself doing a dance to the song that was choreographed by South African dancer Litchi, which involves shaking one's hips and kicking one's legs before pouring water down their back in time to the lyrics "Make me sweat, make me hotter, make me lose my breath, make me water". Other users began also doing the dance, resulting in over 500,000 videos using the song.

Commercial performance

"Water" became Tyla's first song to chart internationally, reaching the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart in October 2023.
