“Down by the Water” foi lançada como o primeiro single do terceiro álbum de PJ Harvey, *To Bring You My Love*, em fevereiro de 1995, marcando uma virada estilística ao substituir a sonoridade indie rock e punk blues por instrumentos eletrônicos como órgão sintetizado e uma pequena orquestra.
A letra da canção conta a perturbadora história de uma mulher que afoga a própria filha e faz referência ao folk americano tradicional “Salty Dog Blues”.
Produzida por PJ Harvey em parceria com Flood e John Parish, a faixa alcançou o número 2 na Billboard Modern Rock Tracks, tornando‑se o single de maior sucesso de Harvey nos Estados Unidos.
O sucesso da música impulsionou sua ampla exibição na MTV e nas rádios universitárias, garantindo a primeira grande ruptura comercial de Harvey no mercado americano.
