Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Erphaan Alves's song "Intentions (Wine & Touch)" primarily depict a man's desire to dance with a woman who has caught his attention. The repetitive chorus of "Ah take ah wine and ah touch" represents his desire to have physical contact with her while they dance, whether it be by placing his hand on her side or her putting her hand on her head. He admires her dancing skills, particularly her ability to balance as she moves to the music. Despite his interest in her, the man is respectful towards the woman, asking if her movements are real or fake and indicating that he wants to know more about her without being disrespectful.


The lyrics overall are representative of the soca genre of music, which originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the mid-20th century. Soca music is often characterized by its fast-paced rhythm, which is meant to encourage dancing and celebration. The lyrics in soca songs frequently draw upon themes of love, romance, and sexuality, sometimes in a playful or humorous way. "Intentions (Wine & Touch)" is no exception, with its focus on the connection between two people on the dance floor.
