"Kill for Candy" is a song by American rock band Dreamcar from their eponymous debut studio album. It was released as the lead single on March 2, 2017 by Columbia Records.[2]

Background and releasing

In 2012, No Doubt released their sixth studio album Push and Shove. After the album experienced moderate success, Gwen Stefani, lead vocalist of the band, started working on her third solo studio album This Is What the Truth Feels Like. While she was working on her solo career, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont joined AFI's singer Davey Havok to form a new band titled Dreamcar.[2]

"Kill for Candy" was one of the first songs that band worked on, Tony Kanal said to Rolling Stone that "[song is] a great way to introduce the band to the world".[2] Havok described the songs as "perhaps dangerous and unhealthy desire for the sweet".[3]

Critical reception

"Kill for Candy" received favorable reviews from music critics. Dan Epstein wrote for Rolling Stone that "the song offers a tasty preview of Dreamcar's self-titled 12-song debut album" and praised song's "propulsive groove, echoing guitar and soaring chorus".[2] Steve Baltin from Billboard described it as a "catchy '80s new wave-inspired track".[4]

Live performances

The band made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 18 performing the track.[3]

Music video

Alongside the release of "Kill for Candy", a lyric video was uploaded on Dreamcar's Vevo account on YouTube.
