Tide Goes Out is a slow, serene song, mirroring Marie's laid-back and relaxed personality. The song was first revealed on 29 April 2016 during the second live Squid Sisters performance at Cho-Ongakusai 2016, alongside Callie's solo song, Bomb Rush Blush. The following day, it was revealed that the new songs would be unlockable with the newly-revealed Squid Sisters amiibo figures.[1], which were released on 8 July 2016. Scanning them in Splatoon allows the player to watch performances of Squid Sisters songs as if they were in a Splatfest, and Tide Goes Out is exclusive to the Marie amiibo. During the performance, Callie simply sits down, while Marie performs her song solo.
In Splatoon 2, Tide Goes Out can be unlocked in Squid Beatz 2 as the final reward from the Marie amiibo. It has a maximum score of 85 and 175 in Normal and Hard modes, respectively. In Splatoon 3, Tide Goes Out can be played in the jukebox if the player has downloaded the Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass.
Lyrics
The booklet included with Splatoon Live in Makuhari -Shiokalive- gives the official lyrics for Tide Goes Out. The lyrics are nonsensical; the Japanese hiragana simply gives the pronunciation.
Music videos for both Tide Goes Out and Bomb Rush Blush were released on 20 July 2016, in anticipation for the Callie vs. MarieSplatfest. The Tide Goes Out video features Marie dancing in various stages during the night time Splatfest theme. The dance is the same one from the Marie amiibo performance.
The song Tidal Rush by DJ Octavio, featuring Callie vs. Marie, is an extensive remix of both Tide Goes Out and DJ Octavio's Bomb Rush Blush remix. It is used during phase three of the final battle of Splatoon 2, which is named after Tide Goes Out.
The song Low Tide, the theme that plays when the player talks to Marie for the first time in Octo Canyon, is a slower remix of Tide Goes Out using similar instrumentation to Cap'n Cuttlefish's Theme.
