The song "Candy" by Hot is about coming to terms with the reality that the end of a relationship may be necessary, even if that means ending the love between two people. The singer is struggling to reconcile the love he has for his partner with the need to move on and let go. In the chorus, the singer expresses his sadness at having to let go of something he once considered so special, and he tells himself that he needs to keep his heart cold towards his partner if he wants to be able to move on. Despite this, he also acknowledges that they both still love each other, and promises to stay by his partner's side even if they can no longer be together.
