"Cola" is a song by CamelPhat and Elderbrook,released as a single on 17 June 2017 by Defected Records. It was recorded,co-written,and produced by the British electronic house duo CamelPhat featuring vocals from Alexander "Elderbrook" Kotz,who was also a co-writer of the track.

Cola is a 122 beat-per-minute dance song with influence from Chicago house music. [6] The chorus lyrics,which include the line "She sips a Coca-Cola // She can't tell the difference yet" have been interpreted by some critics as a reference to using date rape drugs to spike a woman's drink. [6] Kotz told the Los Angeles Times that the lyrics were composed with a woman who is too intoxicated to get into a club in mind;a bouncer "kindly gets her a bottle of Coca-Cola to sober her up,but she thinks it’s Rum &Coke." [6]
