Cocaine was written by J. J. Cale and became widely known through Eric Clapton's 1977 recording on Slowhand, where its steady blues-rock groove turned it into a classic-rock staple. The short clip circulating online isolates that familiar guitar-driven feel, making it easy to reuse without needing the full song. It has stayed popular in edits and memes because the riff is immediately recognisable even at two seconds long, carrying a cool, rebellious attitude that works as shorthand for confidence, swagger or a tongue-in-cheek bad decision.
