“Sour Candy” marks the first collaboration between American singer-songwriter Lady Gaga and South Korean girl group BLACKPINK. It is the third pre-release track from Gaga’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, Chromatica.

The song is a sassy pop song performed over a House beat. The girls of BLACKPINK and Gaga warn their partners to accept them with their flaws and not try to change them.

Rumors regarding the collaboration surfaced in April 2020, when Target accidentally displayed the tracklist of Chromatica on their website. The rumors were put to rest on April 21st, when Gaga unveiled the official tracklist.

The release of the song was announced by Gaga via her social media platforms about a day before Chromatica dropped. This could be due to leaks of the album circulating online a few hours prior to its release in some countries.
