Liquid can drinks have carbon dioxide dissolved in the liquid.

When any liquid heats up , it hold less gas in solution, think of boiling water; dissolved oxygen is being released'.

The carbon dioxide is released into the 'air space' in the can. Since there is no relief of space; increase in volume, until you pull the tab, the carbon dioxide gas pressure builds up, to a point were the metal can cannot hold the build up of pressure. Hence the can explodes!!!!
