Description
Candy-Coated Rocks is a pop rock song. It starts with an instrumentation consisting of guitar, drums, piano, and bass guitar. Then, Pearl starts singing, Marina starts singing later, and both of them sing the chorus together. Pearl starts singing again, this time with a higher pitched background. Marina sings once more before the band repeats, continuing with this higher pitch. It has a random chance of playing in a multiplayer battle.
Lyrics
The booklet included with Splatune 3 gives the official lyrics for Candy-Coated Rocks. The lyrics are nonsensical; the Japanese hiragana and katakana simply give the pronunciation.

Quotes
“ | You're listening to "Candy-Coated Rocks," the latest from Damp Socks feat. Off the Hook. Our audio anthropologist says Marina's subtle piano work wraps around the guitar like an eel wrapping itself around whatever eels wrap themselves around (she's not an eel scientist). | ” |

|
“ | While on tour, Off the Hook seems to have scouted a few new members and reformed as an act calling itself "Damp Socks feat. Off the Hook". Listen to their hot new single, "Candy-Coated Rocks". | ” |
