"Kill for Candy" is the debut single by American supergroup Dreamcar for their self-titled debut album from 2017. The song was produced by Tim Pagnotta and written by the group's four members: Tom Dumont, Davey Havok, Tony Kanal, and Adrian Young. It was released as the album's lead single on March 2, 2017, through Columbia Records. Following Dreamcar's formation, "Kill for Candy" was one of the first four songs the quartet wrote together. It is a new wave song that was influenced by the music of the 1980s and compared to the releases of English bands New Order and A Flock of Seagulls, as well as Havok's own work with AFI and Blaqk Audio. "Kill for Candy" received positive to mixed reviews from music critics and it was called one of the best songs off of Dreamcar. Other reviewers referred to the song as forgettable or dismissed the lyrics. In the United States, the song reached numbers 35 and 28 on Billboard's Rock Airplay and Alternative Airplay charts, respectively. The accompanying music video was directed by Frank Borin and released in April 2017. It was filmed in Los Angeles, through the use of wearable cameras, and captures the band's daily lives. A second version of the video was released afterwards, allowing viewers to change their point-of-view depending on the Dreamcar member. In 2017, the group performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Late Show with James Corden. (en) |
