CamelPhat and Elderbrook’s “Cola” is about a female character who reads like a clubhead. Using a bit of imagination, the narrative details her typical night out on the town. On top of dancing, she also apparently likes drama. By virtue of this, getting into it with disagreeable bouncers seems like a regular occurrence in her life. Also one of her main characteristics, as spied by the vocalist, is that “she sips the Coca-Cola”, thus explaining the title of this song.
