    "On the Water" is a song recorded by Canadian country music group James Barker Band featuring American country music artist Dalton Dover.[1][2] The song was written by the four members of the band, along with Ben Johnson, Jordan Minton, and Hunter Phelps, while it was produced by Todd Clark.[3] It is the second single from the band's extended play Ahead of Our Time.[4]

    Background[edit]

    James Barker stated that the song "touches on all the best parts of summer: fishing, swimming, chilling in a floaty and above all, doing anything but working". He added that the band "released so many songs about beer that we figured maybe it was time to release a song about the second most important liquid of the summer – water".[5]

    Critical reception[edit]

    Erica Zisman of Country Swag stated that the song "screams summertime" and is "perfect to add to any beach or boating playlist," while adding that the song is a "great example of all the talent" between James Barker Band and Dalton Dover.[6] Melinda Lorge of Music Mayhem favourably reviewed the song, framing it as an "uptempo duet" where the two artists "tap into the well-deserved need to unwind with a brewsky, sunshine, and waves on a lakeside paradise after clocking out of the repetitive 9-5 workday shift".[7] Gabby Shukin of CJVR Today's Best Country described the track as a "summer anthem".[8] Stevie Connor of The Sound Cafe called the song a "boat-ready hit", noting Dalton Dover's "soulful vocals" and James Barker Band's "toe-tapping melodies".[9]
