Tunde Olaniran explains: "Cobra is a song I wrote and produced about the necessary duality people use when we interact with the world. Hard/soft, aggressive/passive, lover/fighter.. we have to know when and how to switch between these two sides to survive. For example, the phrase "White Flag in my left/gun in my right hand" represents me wanting to come from a peaceful perspective, but also knowing you often have to fight for what you want and what you believe in. In the chorus, I'm asking the cobra to give me some of its strength and power, while knowing I "need to become both sides of one coin."
Tunde adds: "When I shot the video, I featured people in my life that I felt really embodied this idea of the cobra: they are all people that walk that balance and know when it's time for peace and time to fight for their goals and beliefs."
