cotton candy Lyrics
Tallulah knows
That she's not the only one I'm holding close
On the low
I get vertigo from body overdose
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me your name, and tell me your problems
I got the same
And I wanna get stuck between your teeth like cotton candy
So you'll remember me, darling
[Chorus]
I'm losing myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
I'm losing myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
[Verse 2]
I figured out
That the modern world is turning the wrong way 'round
There's something about
The way our bedsheets turn religion upside down
[Pre-Chorus]
So we just have sex to solve all our problems
Let's do it again
And I wanna get stuck between your teeth like cotton candy
So you'll remember me, darling
I'm losing myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
I'm losing myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
Leave me in the morning, although
I don't wanna be on my own
I'm losing myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
[Chorus]
I'm losing myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
I'm losing myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
Leave me in the morning, although
I don't wanna be on my own
I'm losing myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know

An October 2020 NME article quotes Dom saying:
‘Cotton Candy’ is about sexual liberation. To me sex and sexuality is about freedom and the idea that you can to lose yourself in other people of all genders, of all shapes and sizes to find yourself and figure out who you truly are. Sexual interaction should not be shamed, it should be celebrated because to have safe sex is to spread love and the world needs love more than ever right now.
This song is so important to me because I see and speak to my fan base, facing insecurities around sexual interaction and I want to let them know that it is ok to be EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE and have the right to unconditionally love who they want and be loved in return.
I see this as a plaster for the punch in the gut from the ending of ‘teresa.’ I wrote this with Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels, and Omer Fedi, while Chris and Zakk Cervini produced it. I was like, ‘I wanted to write a song about sex,’ and I literally stripped down to my underpants—consensually, of course—and did the whole session in my underpants. It’s like the most bubblegum YUNGBLUD song ever, but it’s naughty. It was written and produced in three hours. Take your clothes off, sing about sex, and it’s done!
