It is an upbeat pop song and lyrically, it talks about a girl who thinks she's great. It received favourable reviews from music critics, who noted that it was a catchy radio hit.

Despite wearing a pink suit, the singer is invisible to his charge, played by actress Kaya Scodelario. The song is in the game ''Just Dance 2014''. It is also one of the select songs available on the demo version. ==Background and release== The track was originally rumoured to be titled "Vertigo". Williams said of the track: "It's a summer song, very much in a similar vein to 'Rock DJ', about a girl who thinks she's great. And she might be, but she's a bit nefarious with her ways. Some songs take an age to write and some songs just fall out of your mouth completely formed, and you don't have to think about it. I don't know why that fell out of my mouth and out of my brain at that particular time – it just did." On 10 September, Williams debuted "Candy" on Radio 2's Breakfast Show with host Chris Evans.〔 The official artwork for the track features a model of Williams's head covered in pink and red spots. "Candy" was written by Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow and Terje Olsen, while production was handled by Jacknife Lee. The song samples Norwegian producer Todd Terje‘s single "Eurodans". It is an upbeat pop track about a girl with a jumped-up opinion of herself.〔 In the hook, he uses nursery rhymes about the plague and taxes. "Hey ho here she goes/ Either a little too high or a little too low/ Got no self-esteem and vertigo/ Cause she thinks she's made of candy," Williams chants on the chorus.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Candy (Robbie Williams song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
