“cotton candy” sets out the stall for iris' exploration of internal change. A slinky hip hop detour with a shuddering trap beat, it’s been two years in the making, not least because its story – about a romantic encounter she’d long fantasized about, but never quite believed she’d have – was one she...
[Verse 1]
I'm licking my lips one last time
But the flavour's gone back to just mine
Something beautiful happened last night
Now there's pink fluffy clouds on my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
The taste should've left me confused
Did I like it only 'cause it was new?
Honey, look what you got me into
Maybe sugar could be good for you
She's cotton candy
[Chorus]
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Stacking up with love
'Cause it might come in handy
Blowing up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Stacking up with love
'Cause it might come in handy
Blowing up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
[Verse 2]
I've never been to your planet
But somehow I can speak the language
It's too natural not to feel right
And too sweet not to have one more bite
[Pre-Chorus]
The taste should've left me confused
Did I like it only 'cause it was new?
Honey, look what you got me into
Maybe sugar could be good for you
She's cotton candy
[Chorus]
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Stacking up with love
'Cause it might come in handy
Blowing up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Stacking up with love
'Cause it might come in handy
Blowing up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
[Bridge]
First you liquify me
Then evaporate me
Can ever get enough
She's cotton candy
First you liquify me
Then evaporate me
Can ever get enough
[Chorus]
She's cotton candy
Stacking up with love
'Cause it might come in handy
Blowing up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Stacking up with love
'Cause it might come in handy
Blowing up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
[Outro]
First you liquify me
Then evaporate me
Can ever get enough
Maybe sugar could be good for you
She's cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
Stacking up with love
'Cause it might come in handy
Going up, up, up
The sky is cotton candy
