“Candy Hearts” was first announced in Toronto, Ontario at the Phoenix Concert Hall. Matt performed the track for the first time, the day after it was written, along with announcing a new Valentines Day EP was in the works. The performance can be seen below.

[Intro]
I don't know where to start
Opening a bag of candy hearts
Lay 'em on the table one by one
See if we can make up something fun
[Verse 1]
Don't know where to start
Opening a bag of candy hearts
We'll lay 'em on the table one by one
See if we can make up something fun
Should be easy 'cause you're so true
Baby girl, well, I love you
[Verse 2]
Don't know where to start
Bathing in the alley by the rusted cars
Thinking I'm in no shape for the sushi bar
But who's looking anyway? No one's looking anyway
And I've got these sparrin' scars
From a tangle with a dumpster in the parking lot
And I wish there was a sofa in a comfy spot
Where I could waste the day away–not today, not today
[Chorus]
If I don't know where to start
Well, I'm remembering candy hearts
As complicated as we are (It's not so hard)
And we've got these trusty cards
Hidden in the pockets of our leotards
And as complicated as we are (It's not so hard)
It's not so hard
[Verse 2]
Don't know where to start
Bathing in the alley by the rusted cars
Thinking I'm in no shape for the sushi bar
But who's looking anyway?
No one's looking anyway
And I've got these sparrin' scars
From a tangle with a dumpster in the parking lot
And I wish there was a sofa in a comfy spot
Where I could waste the day away
But not today, not today
[Chorus]
If I don't know where to start
Well, I'm remembering candy hearts
As complicated as we are (It's not so hard)
And we've got these trusty cards
Hidden in the pockets of our leotards
And as complicated as we are (It's not so hard)
It's not so hard
Relient K released Candy Hearts on Sun Feb 12 2017.
