"Papa" is a collaboration song between SICKOTOY, Elvana Gjata, and INNA. The lyrics revolve around themes of betrayal, heartbreak, and seeking justice. The song begins with the protagonist feeling empowered and confident, portrayed through the line "You saw me in a crown." However, the second line suggests that their confidence quickly crumbles as they realize they are falling. But when the other person (referred to as "you") enters their life, they decide to leave everything behind and not run away from the situation. The chorus asks why "he" (presumably the person who betrayed them) ran away, addressing a father figure as "Papa." The protagonist's father had promised that the person who caused harm would face consequences, but instead, they feel that they have been shot down emotionally. The repetition of "down" emphasizes the pain and disappointment they experienced. The bridge of the song reinforces the emotional impact of the betrayal. The protagonist expresses how they couldn't bring themselves to take revenge, fearing that it could backfire and cause further harm. They also mention feeling a sense of impending danger, symbolized by feeling it "in the air." Overall, "Papa" tells the story of a person who trusted someone deeply, only to be betrayed. They express their feelings of hurt and confusion, seeking answers and justice for the pain they have endured.
