"Underwater" surfaced in 2018 as the second single from Solace, the third album by Australian alternative dance group Rüfüs Du Sol. Tyrone Lindqvist sings it, Jon George plays keyboards and James Hunt drums, and the three wrote it with Jason Evigan, who co-produced it with the band. Madhhu Kumari adds backing vocals, and Cassian Stewart-Kasimba mixed it.
Billboard heard a song that lives up to its title: a blinking, looping synth figure that sounds half-drowned, a chorus of ghostly voices pulling you further down, and a flatlining beat at the very end. Triple J praised it as a production envelope-pusher that put the band back front and center. It went on to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording.
