"Water Me" is a song by English recording artist FKA twigs released on 1 August 2013 as a Promotional single for her second extended play "EP2"[1]

Background

FKA Twigs' first single was something that she and London based producer Alejandro Ghersi came up with at the end of a session. She recalled to Red Bull Music Academy: "It wasn't a particularly successful session up until that point. We were making these beats and I was whisper-rapping over some stuff, and it all felt a bit empty. We had half-an-hour left at the end, and we started playing together. I was on the Tempest, doing some drums. And Alejandro started adding some synths. The Tempest has this great function where you can record something straight into it and start manipulating it. Very quickly the words came to me, out of nowhere. I'm not going to lie and say I laboured over it for ages. I think I wrote it in about seven minutes."[2]

It's really emotional, we were really emotional in the studio on that day, I remember. Two emo little souls, together. That's very unlike us. Usually in the studio it's... it's ridiculous. We'll work for an hour and then put on some Janet Jackson and dance around the room. Then we'll put on some merengue tune and tango through the studio. We work very quickly. Technically, he's so fast, which really suits me. I don't like to labour over things. In my experience, the first idea is usually the best one. And once I start to think about it, it implodes on itself.

Music video

An official music video was released on 1 August 2013. The video consists of a close up of FKA twigs' face, bobbing frantically. She begins to cry and it "waters" her, causing her eyes to grow larger. The video went viral, reaching over ten million views on YouTube.[3][4] Was directed by Jesse Kanda and FKA twigs. The executive producer was Juliette Larthe, and the head of production was Margo Mars, both from Prettybird. The producer was Shimmy. The cinematographer was Sy Turnbull. The stylist was Jean Paul Paula, and the makeup was by Bea Sweet.[5]
