Lady Gaga & BLACKPINK’s ‘Sour Candy’ Lyrics Have So Many Layers to Them

The song may be a jam, but Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK’s “Sour Candy” lyrics in English have so many layers to them. In case you missed it, Lady Gaga released her collaboration with BLACKPINK a day early on Thursday, May 28. The song, which is from Gaga’s sixth album, Chromatica, is BLACKPINK’s first musical release since their 2019 EP, Kill this Love, and man, do the girls kill it.

The track, which is in both Korean and English, is about how Gaga and BLACKPINK’s members—Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Rosé—are like “sour candy,” a.k.a. a little sweet and a little sour. “I’m sour candy, so sweet then I get a little angry,” one of the lyrics read.

In her verse, Gaga sings about how she’s more than meets the eye and how someone needs to “unwrap” to find out what she’s really like. “You want a real taste, at least I’m not a fake Come, come, unwrap me,” she sings. Of course, there are many interpretations to the lyrics of “Sour Candy.” As Gaga references later with the lyric “now I’m undressing,” words like “unwrap” in “Sour Candy” can mean the singers physically “unwrapping” themselves. The other interpretation is that BLACKPINK and Gaga have more layers than people know and if they took the time to get to know them, people find out those layers.

“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, inside, inside,” one of the lyrics reads.
