Candy (song)

**"Candy"** is the first track in NCT DREAM’s Winter Special Mini Album, *Candy*. It is a remake of H.O.T.’s song of the same name, originally released in 1996. It was released on December 16, 2022.

## Official Description

The track, 'Candy,' reinterprets 'Candy,' from H.O.T.'s first regular album released in 1996, with NCT DREAM's own style. The arrangement adds a refreshing charm to the cheerful melody of the original song. In addition, hit maker KENZIE directly arranged the song, portraying each member’s characteristics more clearly and notably.

NCT DREAM's version of 'Candy' is expected to be another winter favorite not only for those with nostalgia of the old days but also for the fans new to the song.

Freaky when I take it with the team
Show’s sold out, would they buy me the theme song
DJ put a spell on me like a beat, hol' up
Ah, candy

사실은 오늘 너와의
만남을 정리하고 싶어
널 만날 거야 이런 날 이해해
어렵게 맘 정한 거라
네게 말할 거지만
사실 오늘 아침에
그냥 나 생각한 거야

햇살에 일어나 보니 너무나 눈부셔
모든 게 다 변한 거야 널 향한 마음도
그렇지만 널 사랑 않는 게 아냐
이제는 나를 변화시킬 테니까

너 몰래, 몰래, 몰래
다른 여자들과 비교 비교했지
자꾸만 깨어지는 환상 속에
혼자서 울고 있는
초라하게 갇혀버린 나를 보았어
널 떠날 거야, uh, 널 떠날 거야, uh
하지만 아직까지 사랑하는 걸
그래, 그렇지만 내 맘속에
너를 잊어갈 거야

머리 위로 비친 내 하늘 바라다보며
널 향한 마음을 이제는 굳혔지만
웬일인지 네게 더 다가갈수록
우린 같은 하늘 아래 서 있었지

단지 널 사랑해 이렇게 말했지
이제껏 준비했던 많은 말을 뒤로한 채
언제나 니 옆에 있을게
이렇게 약속을 하겠어 저 하늘을 바라다보며

내게 하늘이 열려있어
그래, 그래, 너는 내 앞에 서 있고
그래, 다른 연인들은 키스를 해
하지만 항상 나는 너의 뒤에 있어야만 해
이제 그만해 (Uh) 나도 남잔데 (Hey)
내 마음 너도 알고 있는 걸 알아
그래 이제 나도 지쳐서
하늘만 바라볼 수밖에

내게 하늘이 열려있어
그래, 그래, 너는 내 앞에 서 있고
그래, 다른 연인들은 키스를 해
왜 난 너의 뒤에 있어야 할까

햇살에 일어나 보니 너무나 눈부셔
모든 게 다 변한 거야 널 향한 마음도
그렇지만 널 사랑 않는 게 아냐
이제는 나를 변화시킬 테니까

머리 위로 비친 내 하늘 바라다보며
널 향한 마음을 이제는 굳혔지만
웬일인지 네게 더 다가갈수록
우린 같은 하늘 아래 서 있었지

단지 널 사랑해 이렇게 말했지
이제껏 준비했던 많은 말을 뒤로한 채
언제나 니 옆에 있을게
이렇게 약속을 하겠어 저 하늘을 바라보며

한 번 더, 한 번 더 말했지
이제껏 준비했던
(준비했던 많은 말을 뒤로한 채)
많은 말을 뒤로한 채
(다시 널 사랑한다고 했지)
언제나 니 옆에 있을게
다신 너 혼자 아냐 너의 곁엔 내가 있잖아

## English Translation

Freaky when I take it with the team
Show’s sold out, would they buy me the theme song
DJ put a spell on me like a beat, hol' up
Ah, candy

Honestly, today's the day
I'm gonna break up with you
I'm going to go see you
Hope you'll understand
Wasn't an easy decision
That's what I'll tell you

But actually, I woke up today
And I just knew it
Got up this morning
The sun is shining
Everything's changed
Including my feelings for you
Doesn't mean that I don't love you
Because now I'm going to change myself

Behind, behind, behind your back
Comparing you to other girls
The fantasy of you
Shattering broke my heart
Now I'm crying alone
Gonna leave you, uh
Gonna leave you, uh
But I still love you
That's true, but soon
I will forget you

Looking up to the sky
Above my head
Got my feelings under control
But as I stepped towards you
I realized we stand below the same sky

I said, "I just love you"
Forgetting what I'd prepared
Before this moment
I'll always be by your side
I promise you right now
Looking up to the sky

The sky is wide-open for me
Still, I'm here, but you're there
Leaning together, lovers kiss
But for us
I'm always standing behind you
Gonna stop (Uh) Gotta man-up (Hey)
I know you know how I feel
So exhausted, all I can do
Just stare at that sky above

The sky is wide-open for me
Still, I'm here, but you're there
Leaning together, lovers kiss
Why am I always a step behind?

Got up this morning
The sun is shining
Everything's changed
Including my feelings for you
Doesn't mean that I don't love you
Because now I'm going to change myself

Looking up to the sky
Above my head
Got my feelings under control
But as I stepped towards you
I realized we stand below the same sky

I said, "I just love you"
Forgetting all the words I had prepared
Before this moment
I'll always be by your side
I promise you right now
Looking up to the sky

I tell you again and again
Forgetting all the words I had prepared
(Forgetting all the words I had prepared before)
Before this moment
(I said that I love you again)
I'll always be by your side
You'll never be alone
Here I am, by your side
