(So-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
뜻밖의 표정 하나에 넌 당황하겠지
비싼 척이란 말들로
날 포장한 건 너야 (너야) 너야 (너야)
If you wanna fix me, then let's break up here and now
거리낌 없는 눈빛에 넌 거릴 두니까
툭 까보면 어김없이 소리질러 wow
Uh-huh (uh-huh), uh-huh (oh oh oh)
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
I might be messed up, but I know what's up
You want a real taste, at least I'm not a fake
Come, come unwrap me
Come, come unwrap me
I'll show you what's me
Close your eyes, don't peek
Now I'm undressing
Unwrap sour candy
Come, come unwrap me
Come, come unwrap me
Come on, sour candy (oh oh oh)
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
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, yeah
Take a bite, take a bite
So-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite
So-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite
So-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite
Sour candy
Lady Gaga's "Sour Candy" is a collaboration with the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK. The lyrics are about Gaga's personality and how she can be both a little sweet and a little sour. She describes herself as "hard on the outside" but when someone gives her time, she can make time for love. The song talks about how she can be unpredictable, and if someone asks her to be nice, she'll do it extra mean. She knows she might be messed up, but at least she's not a fake, and she wants someone to come and unwrap her to see the real her.
The lines "비싼 척이란 말들로" and "툭 까보면 어김없이 소리질러 wow" are in Korean and translate to "You wrapped me up in expensive words" and "As soon as you snap, you inevitably scream wow," respectively. These lines suggest that Gaga is aware that people expect her to put on a certain persona, but once you get past that, she is raw and real.
Overall, "Sour Candy" portrays a complex person who is honest about her flaws and wants someone to appreciate her for who she is. The song combines Gaga's signature pop style with BLACKPINK's K-pop sound to create a fun, upbeat track that showcases both artists' talents.
Line by Line Meaning
So-sour candy
The title of the song, conveys that the persona is sour just like a 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
Despite being sweet she can also be sour and when the lights are turned off, her behavior can make people go crazy.
Ask me to be nice and then I'll do it extra mean
뜻밖의 표정 하나에 넌 당황하겠지
비싼 척이란 말들로
날 포장한 건 너야 (너야) 너야 (너야)
If you wanna fix me, then let's break up here and now
거리낌 없는 눈빛에 넌 거릴 두니까
툭 까보면 어김없이 소리질러 wow
Uh-huh (uh-huh), uh-huh (oh oh oh)
If one asks her to be nice, her response might be mean and unpredictable. She believes that the other person is being over the top fake in covering up their true self. She challenges the other person to either accept her for who she is or call it quits. Her intense stare can be intimidating and she can get loud when she wants to.
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
She can initially come off as cold and distant, but if given a chance, she can open up and make time for that special someone. She admits that if one takes a closer look inside her 'shell', they'll see a different version of her.
I might be messed up, but I know what's up
You want a real taste, at least I'm not a fake
Come, come unwrap me
Come, come unwrap me
I'll show you what's me
Close your eyes, don't peek
Now I'm undressing
Unwrap sour candy
Come, come unwrap me
Come, come unwrap me
Come on, sour candy (oh oh oh)
Although flawed, she knows who she is and what she wants in life. She offers her true self to anyone who wants to taste a real version of her. She provokes them to unwrap her shell and become one with her. She teases them to close their eyes and watch as she becomes vulnerable by undressing. To get to know her, they must first peel off her sour candy shell.
Take a bite, take a bite
So-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite
So-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite
So-sour candy
Take a bite, take a bite
Sour candy
The chorus is repeated emphasizing that whosoever wishes to try her sour candy has to take a bite and experience the real her.

HI BLINKS! I made a cover of this song~ come support your girl{:
@oliviahyeismywilltolive8216
Jonathan no she made the song unique I’m not a fan of Gaga but it’s the true. I’m a blink but I feel like this style isn’t really for them even tho they slayed it
@SharRawr
@@user-rv7ge1tc4l at first I would have agreed with you but its like two different styles of the songs in one but it fits together. Its a unique mash up that works.
