Baekhyun's Candy is his best title track

music | discography

In honor of the sub flair being Delight Baekhyun, I'm posting this opinion. Expecting it to be unpopular because people usually say UN Village or Bambi are the best when it comes to his title tracks.

Candy sometimes gets flack for being "safe" as a title track but I feel that while it has a pop feel it was still fresh and original in its own way. There wasn't too much repetition of song structure in each section or use of the Rule of Three's in the song production, so the chorus didn't feel like the standard pop song chorus that a lot of songs have. Even so, the song still managed to be catchy and the melodic line felt like it was always moving. I enjoyed the pop feels of the song while still incorporating Baekhyun's jazzy/soulful voice. Candy also has a S-tier bridge and final chorus. In no way are UN Village, Get You Alone, or Bambi bad, but imo Candy hits different and has the most replayability to me

Candy is my favourite title track of his. I like RnB but I think UN village and bambi were a bit too slow for me

Candy actually took me like 5 listens to like 😭 I love it now but with UN Village and Bambi I liked them instantly. I just think UN village and Bambi are more interesting in terms of composition and instrumentals.

UN Village and Candy took me 5 listens to like whereas Bambi was an instant like. However, UN Village and Bambi got a little old for me while Candy never got old haha. I actually think Candy is the most interesting musically as well

I think Candy was the Korean Yummy. Cute but forgettable and generic. Un Village is his best tt. It was a really good song.

I think it's rather unpopular. For me, his best title track is Bambi, hands down. His vocals and the mood of the song are immaculate. Doesn't hurt that the whole album is S tier while the one that Candy was on was very forgettable imo. And I must add, when I first heard Candy, i thought it could be a Justin Bieber song and that kinda makes me salty

If you’re into R&B, his entire discography will blow you away. Candy is actually pretty different from his usual sound. I totally recommend listening to the rest of his stuff if you get the chance!

Not sure how popular this is, but I personally disagree—not because I think Candy is at all a bad song or even safe, it’s just that my favorite thing about Baekhyun’s voice and vocal technique is that he’s mastered the ability to elongate his notes in a really interesting way, where they’re held just a fraction of a second longer than the rhythm underneath would call for, and it adds such a beautiful fucking syncopation of the melody on top of the instrumentation that kind of runs over itself but in a nice, complimentary way. Bambi features this the most of all his title tracks, which is why it’s my favorite, followed by UN Village. Candy is a great song, it’s just pretty beat-for-beat rhythmically and doesn’t really show off the full range of his ability. But that’s just me, and it’s a really specific reason to like Bambi so much, lol.

I'd say Candy's bridge and final chorus showcases Baekhyun's artistry and ability pretty well but I agree, Bambi and that entire album really showcases the full extent of his voice and technique and I can't disagree that his voice sounds best in that album
