Ant J Music, the poetic soul, he writes his music as if every song is a poem; it seems as if not a word or moment in each song is without intention. On songs like Dance of the Fire and Juxtaposition, off the Deep Purple Ep, he flexes his fusion of poetry and vibey melodies; using motifs like Dance and love, respectively, to ensure the subject flowed and meaning isn’t lost. Ant J has been compared to Hip-hop legends like Wale, J. Cole, and Common; while still giving the R&B soul like Inglewood SiR, Giveon, and Kehlani. Though compared and influenced by many, Ant J stands in his own creative space experimenting with music, looking for new sounds, fusing genres, blazing his own path, and designing his own place in music.

On Cold Water Ant J flexes his ability to rap over RnB instrumentals. The song details his troubles with relationships; in the first verse we hear Ant talk about the dating the wrong person at the right time, in the following verse he flips it, right person wrong time. Cold Water, written and performed by Ant J, produced by Drecyy, entices the listener with a catchy hook that grabs the listener and makes them want to sing along and an overall smooth wave song vibe that perfectly encapsulates the title.
