《River》是美国说唱歌手埃米纳姆与英国歌手艾德·希兰共同演唱的一首歌曲，歌词、曲谱由埃米纳姆、艾德·希兰和艾米利·海尼共同编写，该歌曲作为专辑的第二支单曲，于2018年1月5日通过Aftermath娱乐、新视镜唱片、Shady唱片发布，被收录在埃米纳姆于2017年12月15日发行的第九张录音室专辑《Revival》。

艾德·希兰一直期待以埃米纳姆合作，艾德·希兰在童年时患有的口吃，9岁时，父亲给他买了一张埃米纳姆的黑胶唱片，艾德·希兰将歌词倒背如流。艾德·希兰认为埃米纳姆的音乐对他口吃的治疗起到了很大的帮助。

2016年3月，艾德·希兰在罗素·克劳澳大利亚的家中度假时，收到了埃米纳姆经纪人保罗·罗森博格的电子邮件，保罗希望艾德·希兰能够参与埃米纳姆专辑的制作。于是艾德·希兰立马在罗素·克劳的家中搭了一个录音室，创作并录制歌曲的副歌部分，并寄给了保罗。

2017年5月，正在墨西哥的艾德·希兰在朋友的告知下知道了埃米纳姆已经录制完主歌部分，而他之前一直不知道。随后他赶往底特律与埃米纳姆进行了会面，并完成了歌曲的所有工作。
