Sour Candy
Lady Gaga BLACKPINK Shygirl Mura Masa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, you want it like that?
Sugar sweet like a cute kitty cat
One more move and I'd snatch it right back
Is it me, or do you like it like that?
Like it what I mean when I switch up my hair
You can have a taste, but don't get too attached
All eyes on me, did you feel the impact?
I just can't seem to make up my mind
But I'm ready to give you what you like
Take the poison, I'll be sour tonight
Alright, alright
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, sour candy
Taste
Taste
S-sour candy
I'm sour candy, so sweet, then I get a little angry, yeah
Sour candy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm super psycho, make you crazy when I turn the lights low
Sour candy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, sour candy
I'm hard on the outside
But if you give me time
I could make time for your love
Time for your love
I'm hard on the outside
But if you give me time
Then I could make time for your love (oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I can be sweet, but I'm sour for you
Taste the poison, make your dreams come true
It's not right to like, but you know you do
I just can't seem to make up my mind
But I'm ready to give you what you like
Take the poison, I'll be sour tonight
Alright, alright
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, sour candy
I'm sour candy, so sweet, then I get a little angry, yeah
Sour candy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm super psycho, make you crazy when I turn the lights low
Sour candy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite, sour candy
(Shy)
The song "Sour Candy" by Lady Gaga, BLACKPINK, Shygirl, and Mura Masa explores the idea that sometimes a person can be a mix of sweet and sour, and that's what makes them unique and desirable. Shygirl begins the first verse with lyrics that are suggestive and flirtatious. She asks the listener if they want it like that, sugar sweet like a cute kitty cat. She warns them that she may snatch it right back, but also wonders if they like it that way. Shygirl then asserts her independence and tells them they can have a taste, but not to get too attached. The lyrics suggest that Shygirl is a strong, confident woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "take a bite, take a bite, s-sour candy," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the complexity of a person who is a mix of sweet and sour. Lady Gaga takes over the second verse, singing that she is sour candy - sweet on the outside but with a little bit of anger underneath it all. She describes herself as super psycho and able to make someone crazy when she turns the lights low. The bridge of the song brings both Lady Gaga and Shygirl together, with lyrics that suggest they are both hard on the outside but can soften up when given time to do so.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sour Candy" explore the idea that people are complex, and that what makes someone sweet and sour is what makes them unique and desirable. The song celebrates individuality and encourages people to embrace their complex nature.

You are being an embarrassment to BLACKPINK and the broader fandom.
I'm sorry, but you're not helping them. Instead of buying into a fabricated narrative in your head that Lady Gaga and her team are somehow out to disrespect the PINKS and their hard work, think about how crediting the Pinks would allow all members to profit from this track, not just Rose and Lisa. In reality, the main entertainment titan responsible for restricting and under-utilising their talent over the past few years is YG Entertainment. Go take your energy there. What Gaga is doing is NOT new in the music industry, it's been happening for years with other artists and nobody has complained about it until some entitled BLINKS who don't know how the industry works decided their faves were being mistreated.
This is just one particular example that works against the common argument (of BLACKPINK being entitled to have ALL members sing in ALL versions of a song to be credited as BLACKPINK in a video title):
In November 2020, the official League of Legends channel released a track called 'I'll Show You' for their K/DA album, with the song featuring 4 members of TWICE.
The title reads: 'K/DA - I’LL SHOW YOU ft. TWICE, Bekuh BOOM, Annika Wells (Official Concept Video - Starring Ahri)'.
Read the production credits under the video:
Featured artists: TWICE, Bekuh BOOM, and Annika Wells
Vocals performed by: TWICE, Bekuh BOOM, and Annika Wells
Now in case you didn't know, the Kpop girl group TWICE consists of 9 members. Only 4 of them participated in the song (alongside Annika Wells and Bekuh BOOM, who happens to be Teddy Park's co-songwriter and helped produce LISA's solo track). It currently sits at 16 million views on Youtube. Do you know what happened in the comments when people realised less than half the members had lines? Nothing.
Their fandom and LOL gamers just complimented the vocalists and congratulated TWICE as a group, thanking RIOT Music Team producers for the wonderful opportunity. And it wasn't even a friggin' remix, it was the original song. The other 5 members didn't ever receive lines, but ONCEs acted mature, positive, and most importantly DIDN'T SPAM THE COMMENTS. That is how a non-entitled fandom in tune with reality behaves. Your fave Kpop group is NOT the center of the universe, and that's okay. Go stream Lisa's solo or the o.g. Sour Candy if you want to show support for them.
