Commandaria (also called Commanderia and Coumadarka; Greek: κουμανδαρία, κουμανταρία and Greek: κουμαντάρκα) is an amber-coloured sweet dessert wine made in the Commandaria region of Cyprus on the foothills of the Troödos mountains. Commandaria is made from sun-dried grapes of the varieties Xynisteri and Mavro. While often a fortified wine, through its production method it often reaches high alcohol levels, around 15%, already before fortification. It represents an ancient wine style documented in Cyprus back to 800 BC and has the distinction of being the world's oldest named wine still in production, with the name Commandaria dating back to the crusades in the 12th century.
The wine has a rich history, said to date back to the time of the ancient Greeks, where it was a popular drink at festivals. A dried grape wine from Cyprus was first known to be described in 800 BC by the Greek poet Hesiod and was known, by much later, as the Cypriot Manna.

I feel like the DJ is my bodyguard
You see the way he keeps me safe
With the treble and that bass
I feel free enough to party hard
This dress won't go to waste
Feels like I own the place
V.I.P to to be the boss
You see the way these people stare
Watching how I fling my hair
I'm a dancefloor lover
Baby there's no other
Who do it like I do it yeah
(Chorus:)
From here on out
I'll be your commander
No fear no doubt
I'll provide the answer
Right now I command you to dance
I'll be your commander
Right now I command you to dance
I'll be your commander
Right now I command you to...
I- I'll be your commander
I'll provide the answer
(Verse 2:)
Ain't no reason to celebrate
But you know we gon' hav a ball
Champagne spillin' from the wall
And I'll be partying til hella late
But I ain't worried not at all
I just give my driver a call yeah
(Tell him) Pick me up at 8am
No we ain't stopping right here
We'll take the party to the crib
Let's go all night baby
You won't find no lady
Who does it like I does it yeah
[Chorus]
It's jam packed
So DJ where you at?
I know you got my back
So make that bass attack
Let's make these people move
You know I need some room, to
Do what I do, I'm bout to act a fool
Turn the lights on
[Chorus]
I-I'll be your commander
