Candy (song)

## Tracklisting

"**Candy**" is a song by American singer-songwriter Slayyyter. It is the first promotional single and fourth track from her self-titled debut mixtape. The song was released on October 1st, 2018.

## Background

On September 30th, 2018, Slayyyter teased the song on Twitter using a fanmade edit captioned "Candy. Tonight." On the day of the song's release, she posted a 30-second snippet of the song with the caption "candy out now <3" and a link to listen to it on SoundCloud.

Slayyyter confirmed that the song would be on the mixtape on February 26th, 2019.

## Critical Reception

"Candy" had little to no critical reception until later on, making it one of her least popular songs among critics. This was due to the fact that it had received very little promotion at the time of its release.

*PAPER Magazine* called it "a song whose lyrics, "My pussy tastes sweet like candy," hover above what sounds like that *ting* that went off in Kelis' "Milkshake," bringing all the bots and the boys alike to the yard. How can something that sounds this well-made feel so insanely effortless (and for the time being overlooked)?".

## Music Video

On June 15th, 2019, the music video was released after Slayyyter had teased it. She had previously tweeted, "what if i dropped a video tonight."

*PAPER Magazine* praised the video, stating, "In the video, the singer takes seductive selfies on a recognizable Mac photo booth app, smokes while working a motel hallway like a runway, and licks a pink lollipop. Once again, Slayyyter is unafraid of the risqué imagery and showing off her sexuality. With the hot pink filters and trippy visuals, the overall effect of "Candy" is absolutely hypnotizing".

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Bitch

(C-A-N-D-Y)

S-L-A-Y

Uh! Yeah

Mmm, yeah

Ow!

**[Verse 1]**

It's gettin' late at night and you know just what I like

Want you to take it downtown, baby, can you blow my mind?

It's that something that you do before you go inside

Before you go inside - ow!

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Want you to give attention right where I am craving it

Boy, can you feel the tension? Don't think I can handle this

Want you to taste it, cause it's tasty, baby, make it drip

I'm gonna scream your name 'til all your neighbors hear it

Oh, yeah

My pussy tastes sweet like candy

Mmm, yeah

**[Chorus]**

Candy (yeah)

It tastes sweet like candy (yeah)

I love it when it gets so handsy (yeah)

It tastes sweet like candy (yeah)

Candy

**[Post-Chorus]**

C-A-N-D-Y

Boy, can you eat me right?

C-A-N-D-Y

Boy, can you eat me right?

**[Verse 2]**

When you start eatin', got me breathing heavy, don't stop

Boy keep it goin', keep me moanin', 'til my cherry pops

All these positions, so delicious, when I get on top

Top - ow!

**[Chorus]**

Candy (yeah)

It tastes sweet like candy (yeah)

I love it when it gets so handsy (yeah)

It tastes sweet like candy (yeah)

Candy

**[Outro]**

I taste like candy, sugar and cherry

Boy, if you want me, come get above me

I taste like candy, sugar and cherry

Boy, if you want me, come get above me

(I taste sweet like) Candy
