When you've been hurt too many times by one person you used to love, cutting ties is the most freeing and healthy thing you can do to move on. Peder Elias's song "Row Your Boat" gives listeners a cathartic message of closure as the speaker of the song communicates a message to his ex-partner through the lyrics. He wants nothing to do with that person or anyone connected to them and the words, "I can't stand your games no more" boldly communicate the weight of his message. Encouraging listeners to give a bad relationship a clean break, this track is a motivating and creative permanent goodbye.
With bright piano and comforting, soulful vocals this track blends a melody of nostalgia in the opening of this pop track. Fast-paced singing shows off Peder's commercial pop sound in the verse, accompanied by a soft percussive rhythm. The chorus takes listeners back, starting with a melody reminiscent of the popular children's song of the same title before descending into an energetic blend of layered vocalizing, drums, electronic instrumentals. With emotional explorations of his range, Peder delves into falsetto and deep expression throughout the verse. A playful and self-assured sound to moving on, this song offers listeners a captivatingly motivating sense of finality.
