Syd Treading Water With New Single
Syd is still feeling the success of her debut solo album Fin. So much so that the young singer is still releasing new music, just weeks after dropping her album. She treated her fans to a bonus track on Monday morning titled “Treading Water.”
“Gonna drop a song on my SoundCloud tomorrow at 10 am PST,” Syd wrote on Twitter today. “This was my favorite song on #FIN before I had to cut it…”
So as it turns out, “Treading Water” is a bonus cut from Fin that didn’t end up making it onto the final project. It’s produced by Internet bandmate Steve Lacy and frequent collaborator Flip Colson. The song definitely sounds like it would have been a perfect fit on the album. And it most definitely sounds like it would be on an Internet album.

Syd “Treading Water” Lyrics:
I’m in trouble now
I done fucked around with your heart
It’s a struggle now
Should have never messed with your love, sugar
Now the question is, hmm
Do I wanna sink or swim?[Chorus]
Feels like I’m treading water
Waiting on your call
And it’s getting harder
Trying not to drown
Come on, baby, ooh
Come on, baby, come back to me
[Refrain]
One time for the girls that don’t
Let just anyone rock that boat
All the ones who know that
They’re legit, confidence, gotta show that
Two times for the guys that wait
He ain’t heard back in like three, four days
He’s just tryna figure you out
[Verse 2]
Don’t make me walk the plank
When I call your name, you walk away
They gave me too much to drink
To numb the pain, I’m too dumb to think
I’m sending out an S.O.S. for our love
Sending out an S.O.S. for our love
[Chorus]
Feels like I’m treading water
Waiting on your call
And it’s getting harder
Trying not to drown
Come on, baby, woah
Come on, baby, come back to me
[Refrain]
One time for the girls that don’t
Let just anyone rock that boat
All the ones who know that
They’re legit, confidence, gotta show that
Two times for the guys that wait
He ain’t heard back in like three, four days
He’s just tryna figure you out
It’s all about love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love
Hey, it’s all about love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love
All about love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
It’s all about love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Come on, come on, yeah
