Among his vast repertoire of hits, “Two Piña Coladas” emerges as a beacon of lighthearted escapism, transporting listeners to a sun-kissed paradise where worries melt away with each sip of a refreshing cocktail.
Released in 1998 as the third single from Brooks’ album Sevens, “Two Piña Coladas” immediately captured the hearts of country music fans, soaring to the top of the Billboard Country Charts and cementing its place as a modern classic.

Brooks’ signature storytelling prowess shines through in “Two Piña Coladas”, weaving a narrative that effortlessly blends humor, romance, and a touch of escapism.
