Interesting facts and trivia about Cold Water (feat. Justin Bieber & MØ). By Songfacts®.

This guitar-laced dancehall jam finds Major Lazer's Diplo reuniting with Justin Bieber. Diplo, along with his Jack Ü partner Skrillex, previously had major success with the Canadian star on "Where Are U Now." Speaking to Nick Grimshaw on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, the American producer explained why he was so keen to get Bieber in the studio again: "As a person he's just a cool guy. I've known him for many years, I worked on the pop stuff before the Jack U stuff. I just like being with him in the studio. It was easy, it was fun, he's really good at what he does so as a producer you always want people like that around you, to just push you."

The song was written by Ed Sheeran and Benny Blanco; the same pair also co-penned Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself." "I had been trying to link with Benny Blanco and Ed Sheeran for years to find the right song we could all work on together and the moment I heard this one, I knew that it was the one," Diplo told Rolling Stone. "The timing was perfect and when we approached Justin, he was also in love with the song we all had written."

There's also additional singing from MØ, with whom Major Lazer previously worked with on the hit single, "Lean On." The Danish vocalist arrives just over two thirds of the way through the song. Diplo said: "I thought it would be interesting to incorporate another vocal and seeing she's family, I reached out to MØ and we decided to try our best to make something fresh and interesting as Major Lazer."
