Baco is Dutch slang for a Bacardi and cola mixed drink. It's a super specific, casual bar term that you won't find in textbooks or most songs.
In the chorus, Flemming sings about a wild night out where everyone goes "zwemmen met z'n allen in de baco" (swimming all together in the Bacardi-cola). It's a vivid, exaggerated image that perfectly captures the chaotic, party vibe of drinking so much that you're practically swimming in it. This unique word is your key to unlocking an authentic Dutch party anthem.
Strap in for a wild Amsterdam night-out! The song follows FLEMMING and Mart Hoogkamer as they rock up to the city with zero plans and zero girlfriends, only to let the evening snowball into full-blown chaos. One minute they are ordering “the very best bottles and a table,” the next they are practically swimming in rum-and-coke, belting tunes from the bar top and picking dance partners of every hair color in sight.
From 0 to 100 percent is the anthem’s rallying cry. It celebrates those spontaneous nights where phones go on airplane mode, everyone raises a glass, and friendships take center stage. The duo remind us that sometimes the best memories are made by ditching the plan, living in the moment, and turning the energy dial all the way up long before midnight.
