Like Water (Wendy song)

Composed by production team Coach & Sendo and Anne Judith Stokke Wik from Dsign Music, together with Kenzie and Yoo Young-jin, it is an acoustic pop ballad and modern rock song.

[2] Prior to 2021, she suffered a pelvic fracture and broken wrist, among other injuries and had been on a year-long hiatus due to a stage accident during the 2019 SBS Gayo Daejeon music festival.

"Like Water" was composed by production team Coach & Sendo and Anne Judith Stokke Wik; the lyrics were written by Kenzie and Yoo Young-jin.

[7] JT Early of Beats Per Minute called it as a song with "an enchanting pop-rock ballad with warm guitar, soaring strings and a general sense of triumph".

[14] Lyrically, the song compares each other's existence and meaning to "water," which is indispensable in life, further adding to the message of hope for a new journey with gratitude to the precious people who stood by her side.

"[13] The track was featured on MTV News' Bop Shop where it was described as "an ethereal acoustic ballad", complimenting Wendy's "effortlessly flits from delicate humming to phenomenal high notes".

[17] Divyansha Dongre of Rolling Stone India complimented the "vocal abilities as she experiments with different ranges throughout the track", further citing the reinforcement of signature high-notes on the chorus.

[9] Claire Dodson of Teen Vouge praised the track for its "soaring bridge notes" that "are cinematic and moving", and concluded that it makes "one perfect for the turning point in a coming-of-age film".

[20] Jung Da-yeol of IZM compared similarity of the acoustic guitar introduction of the track to Taeyeon's "Fine", but explained that it "has become richer with the addition of string sound".
