Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Candy" by Don Toliver speaks about a romantic partner who is too demanding and hard to please despite providing everything. The lines “Candy couldn't be so sweet” and “Red bottoms under my feet” imply that the person providing everything is also wealthy and loaded with designer items like Christian Louboutin shoes which are popularly referred to as “red bottoms.” The chorus repeats the assertion that despite everything they do, their partner is still not satisfied.


The verse “I've been livin' a lie” suggests that the singer may have been pretending or acting in a certain way in the relationship, possibly trying too hard to please their partner. The lines “Genocide” could be interpreted as wanting to get rid of the feeling of trying to please by killing off the behavior.


The bridge of the song has the lines "I said to you, 'You're so demanding' and even all your accounts are now outstanding." This could imply that the partner may be putting financial demands on the singer despite being wealthy themselves.


Overall, the song could be about the challenges of trying to make someone happy who is never satisfied and the feeling of being worn out by trying to meet their demands.
