I don't think Water is a bad song, in fact I like how you can notice new sounds the more you listen to it (it took me a lot of listens to hear that synth choir) but it isn't really my thing. Honestly I'm starting to grow tired with the way that all the music we got from the 2000's so far are ballads, I'm dying to hear something from that era that has more intensity. I need angry voice.
If I had to choose between listening to this song or listening a song like Rocker, Dark Lady (not sure if this one is uptempo but from the descriptions it seems like it might be) or any of the RedOne tracks I'd go for those anytime.
