“Sugar Water” features a jazzy, soulful production with a gospel touch, especially in the powerful hook that echoes the kind of uplifting sounds typically heard in a church setting. Dixon opens the track with an impressive verse, rapping about overcoming the struggles of growing up in a broken home, achieving success, and reflecting on his past.
