"Swim Good" is Switchfoot's reading of a Frank Ocean song, recorded for their 2020 EP Covers. Ocean first released it in 2011 as the second single from his mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra, co-writing it with producers Midi Mafia and Charles Gambetta.
It is a heavy song to borrow. It tells of a man weighed down by one failed relationship after another who ends it all by driving his car into the ocean, a tragic love story wrapped in metaphors about guilt and emotional baggage. Taking it on means stepping into someone else's bleakest moment and trying to find the ache in it.
