An accompanying music video for "Candy" filmed in Shibuya, Japan and inspired by Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation was shared on YouTube upon the release of Motomami.

Rosalía would expand her horizons and venture in reggaeton the following year, reaching mainstream audiences worldwide with songs like "Con Altura" or "Yo x Ti, Tu x Mi".

"Candy" is one of the many songs Rosalía wrote during her time in the United States in the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic before starting a nine-month mixing and mastering process in Los Angeles.

"Candy" was recorded by engineers and songwriters David Rodríguez, Sean Matsukawa and Tyler Murphy; and mixed by Manny Marroquín at Larrabee, in Hollywood.

Heavily inspired in the 2003 film Lost in Translation, it sees the singer in a short pink wig and American model Alton Mason at a karaoke bar.
