In the song, Akon makes a reference to the "Shirley Temple", a non-alcoholic cocktail (mocktail) named after the former child actress and diplomat; Akon claimed in an interview that he subsisted on Shirley Temples in lieu of alcoholic drinks as he is otherwise forbidden from drinking them as a devout Muslim and a teetotaller.^[3]
