The track candidly addresses her personal experience with depression, the complexities of antidepressants, and the internal struggle of whether to return to them.
"The feeling like I was weak. It made me angry. It’s something I had to overcome. This song is filled with my personal stories told in a dream-like way. It holds anger, blame, shame, feeling lost, love, and acceptance within its composition" BANKS explains. "It touches on family dynamics that happen when a member is depressed. When someone wants to help but can’t. When offers of advice feel offensive. When antidepressants are the answer. Like the candy a child needs to stop crying. The balance between childlike sounds and the heavy subject matter creates a world that feels eerie and beautiful.'
“Candy” is included on the deluxe version of BANKS’s most recent album, Off With Her Head, which features previous singles "I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend" featuring Doechii, "Best Friends", her most recent single, "Love Is Unkind", as well as, "Delulu", and "Meddle In The Mold".
