00:00 I had a feeling it was gonna do well, but what it did was like, what the heck?
00:04 It went crazy, like I have a whole Grammy nomination.
00:08 Celebrities are dancing to it, listening to it, reaching out.
00:11 So it really surpassed my expectations, but I always knew that it was a smash.
00:16 It is a smash, you know?
00:17 Song of the year, song of the summer.
00:19 Growing up, I really liked the song "Rock the Boat."
00:28 And I did not know what that song meant.
00:30 So like, hey!
00:31 Growing up, then I found out what I was rocking to.
00:33 I just loved that it was a song about something mature, but if you didn't know, you didn't
00:37 need to know.
00:38 And no matter the age, no matter where you're from, you can vibe to it.
00:41 With "Water," I feel like it's the perfect way I incorporated it.
00:45 I just remember recording it, and as soon as I finished, I fell in love.
00:49 I couldn't stop playing it.
00:50 I played it for my whole family, all my friends, and they were obsessed.
00:53 And I just had such a good feeling about it.
00:55 So I'm happy that it's doing what it's doing, you know?
00:57 I'm a wild one.
00:58 This is just me saying, like, "Hey!
01:15 Usually I'm cool, but now I've been waiting.
01:18 I've been patient."
01:19 He's teasing a little bit, but he's not doing the action, you know?
01:23 You need to now step up.
01:24 "Telling me that you're really about it, why try to hide it?
01:31 Ooh, talk is cheap, so show me that you understand how I like it."
01:40 Guys, talk is cheap!
01:42 Guys know how to talk.
01:43 They'll promise you the world, they'll tell you this, that, that, that, but when it's
01:47 time to show, then, doh-loh-loh, there's nothing.
01:50 I hate that.
01:51 Like, guys that just talk?
01:52 Nah.
01:52 Nah.
01:54 "Can you blow my mind?
01:59 Set off my whole body.
02:02 If I give you my time, can you snatch my soul from me?
02:11 I don't wanna wait.
02:14 Come take it.
02:15 Take me where I ain't been before.
02:20 Can you blow my mind?
02:25 Set off my whole body.
02:28 Whole body."
02:30 I don't like doing first moves.
02:32 I'm not that type.
02:33 I'm not gonna reach out first, so I have to maneuver and find a way for you to do it.
02:38 Me saying, "I don't wanna wait.
02:40 Come take it."
02:41 It's me telling you, "Hey, man up and come for it if you really want it."
02:46 "Make me sweat.
02:49 Make me hotter.
02:51 Make me lose my breath.
02:54 Make me water.
02:56 Make me sweat.
02:58 Make me hotter.
03:00 Make me lose my breath.
03:02 Make me water."
03:04 The Water Challenge is Bacardi.
03:06 It's a dance style from South Africa.
03:08 I ended up working with my choreographer.
03:10 He came up with the, you know, the challenge.
03:14 So we rehearsing, we doing the dance, but I was like, "Nah.
03:18 I wanna pour water down my back."
03:20 And I ended up doing it in Rwanda and, woo, everybody loved it.
03:24 Now it's my thing, you know?
03:26 Hopefully you can last all night.
03:29 Don't get too excited.
03:32 Oh, privacy.
03:36 You ain't gotta go nowhere.
03:37 You can stay inside it.
03:39 Chillax.
03:40 Like, relax.
03:41 I know you excited, but don't get too excited now because, you know, when guys get too excited,
03:47 the conversation doesn't last as long as you would like it.
03:51 So yeah, don't get too excited.
03:56 I finished performing in Rwanda.
03:58 Someone posted a video of me dancing.
04:00 I loved it so much, I DM'd and I was like, "Please send it to me."
04:03 I got it and I posted it just before I was about to fly.
04:06 And by the time I landed, I saw like five million views or something and I was like,
04:11 "What the heck is happening?"
04:13 The video just started moving.
04:14 People started doing the dance.
04:16 People from everywhere in the world, you know?
04:18 So that was a huge moment for me.
