"Salt" is a song by Danish singer and songwriter Oh Land for her fifth studio album, Family Tree (2019). Oh Land wrote the song with Thomas Bartlett, the sole producer. Her boyfriend, Adi Zukanovic, plays piano on it with Bartlett and Hungarian conductor Peter Pejtsik. The song represents a change in style from her previous work and features a string-led production with Oh Land's distinctive breathy vocals. The lyrics to the song are a metaphor, describing the unpredictable nature of life's events. The song was performed by Oh Land during a live show at Koncerthuset in Copenhagen.
A remix of "Salt", created by American producer Arthur Moon, was released on the two musicians' collaborative remix extended play, Replanting Family Tree (2019). It was self-released as the EP's lead single on 4 September 2019, a week after the initial announcement. The remix is an electropop track with newly-added synths and it received generally favourable reviews from music critics.
