preview

Advertisement Can you taste the pop excellence? One day before it was originally set to release, and Korean girl group surprise-dropped their new song "Sour Candy," and it's a mouthwatering serve of mammoth dance beats. The epic collaboration kicks off with a sledgehammering house beat as various members of the K-Pop collective bounce a series of sassy verses — both in English and Korean ("I'm sour candy, so sweet then I get a little angry" and "I'm super psycho, make it crazy when they turn the lights now") — off each other before Gaga hits us with the chorus: "I'm hard on the outside, but if you give me time, then I could make time for your love. I'm hard on the outside, but if you see inside." Gaga then switches up her tone and speak-raps the post-chorus verses, asserting "I might be messed up, but I know what's up. You want a real taste? At least I'm not a fake. Come unwrap me." According to the tune's Spotify credits, "Sour Candy" was co-written by Korean rapper Teddy Park, Madison Emiko Love, Rami Yacoub, and the track's producers, BloodPop and BURNS.
