Afgan is back with new material. 

In his new single, ‘Shallow Water’, the Indonesian superstar reflects on how old wounds can hold back a relationship, and how being afraid of messing can stop it from growing stronger. 

Of the inspiration of the track, the ‘Bawalah Cintaku’ hitmaker shared in a press release: “This fear of f**king things up arises if we went in too deep in the relationship. Cause it definitely doesn't feel like shallow waters and you tend to get overwhelmed and drown in the emotions.”
