Walk On Water (feat. Beyoncé)

With Beyoncé on the hook, Eminem comes down from the heavens to explain that he's just a man, not a god, and he cannot walk on water unless it's frozen. Eminem has never been shy about expressing his anxieties, but he's never questioned his skills or his legacy like he does here. The critics have clearly gotten to him: If you bitches are tryin' To strip me of my confidence Mission accomplished This is all accompanied by a soothing track of strings and piano. At the end of the song, Eminem snaps out of it, bringing in some old-school scratches as he blurts: I'm just a man But as long as I got a mic, I'm godlike So me and you are not alike Bitch, I wrote "Stan"

This was the first single from Revival, Eminem's ninth album.

Eminem named his 2009 album Relapse, a reference to his struggles with prescription drug abuse (he got hooked on painkillers). Throughout this song, he is heard writing and tearing off sheets of paper, which could be his lyrics, but could also represent a prescription drug pad. This motif was the basis of an elaborate promotional campaign that spoofed the ubiquitous advertisements for prescription drugs. A website, askaboutrevival.com, was set up, promising Revival as "proven to effectively treat people with Atrox Rithimus." On November 8, two days before the single dropped, Em tweeted a shot of a prescription for "Walk On Water" - take as needed.
