Collie Buddz employs a style that is strongly rooted in 1990's era conscious and dancehall style reggae, using beats and vocal techniques reminiscent of the iconic stars of that day - including Sizzla, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man. The singer has attributed the defining influences on his music to lyrical clashes (such as those between Beenie Man and Bounty Killer) and dubplates, particularly those of Kilimanjaro, that were core to the sound clash culture of the 90's.
Buddz is an avid fan of Buju Banton and cites that artist's "Mr. Mention" has one of his favorite albums.

Verse 1
Hook/Chorus
The song "Old Times Sake" by Collie Buddz is a romantic ballad that pays homage to a past love interest. The opening lines of the song, "Igh vibes, yeah," set the tone for a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere as the singer reminisces about the good times he shared with his former flame. The chorus is particularly catchy and emphasizes the central message of the song - that he wants to reconnect with this person for the sake of old times.
The repeated phrase "na na now" serves as a sort of refrain throughout the song, punctuating the end of each verse and chorus. The lyrics of the first verse are particularly sensual, with the singer describing how he is still attracted to his former lover's shape and movements, as well as the "vibes" she creates. In the second verse, he suggests taking things slowly and going with the flow, as they attempt to rekindle their relationship. The overall message of the song is one of nostalgia for a lost love and a desire to reconnect for old times' sake.
