Fraser told fans via Twitter that "['Something in the Water'] is a bit different to what you might be used to from me".[1] Scott Kara from The New Zealand Herald called the song "a right little thigh-slapper, with a bit of a stomp to it, and it's about good times, drinking wine, and being in love."[2] The Sunday Star-Times' Grant Smithies referred to it as "an unexpectedly perky country-pop ditty built around a rollicking bluegrass stomp."[3] Both writers compared the song to the work of Dolly Parton.

Music video

According to Fraser via Facebook, the video for "Something in the Water" was shot in August.[4] Directed by Joe Kefali and Campbell Hooper,[5] it was released onto YouTube on 31 August 2010.[6]
