“River” details the struggles of a failing relationship that culminates in an abortion. The story initially depicts a man who has been cheating on his girlfriend. The girl finds out about his infidelity, and, she seeks revenge by cheating on him with Eminem. Em knows he is getting used, yet he persists anyways in order to fill the romantic void in his heart.
After the man finds out what his girlfriend has been doing, he ends up leaving her at the same time as Eminem has lost interest in her. Em’s struggles come to fruition as soon as he realizes the woman is pregnant by him. His selfish actions cause the destruction of the girl’s relationship and the abortion of her unborn child.
Ed Sheeran—who collaborates with Eminem for the first time—sings a powerful chorus of a remorseful man who wants to be washed from his sins.
