​‘Candy' and 'Hentai' are the names of the two clips presented by the Spanish songwriter Rosalía. They are both expected to be part of her new album 'Motomami'.

The first snippet was released on 31 December and the singer presented it in a compilation video with photos from her 2021.

​But the second clip, released on 16 January, has had the real impact, and 'Hentai' has caught everyone off guard.

While the melody is pleasant, fans have been surprised by the lyrics of this song and the memes on social media have been quick to appear. Even on TikTok we can find comments like: 'Sorry babe but we can't always have your back. What is this.' Or 'is this a social experiment?'. Meanwhile, on Twitter the Hispanic fanbase is begging the singer-songwriter to go back to flamenco pop and forget about this new style.

It seems that the singer is having a great time in Baqueira, where she is on holiday skiing and where she has recorded this new TikTok. From here the singer has tweeted that she doesn't understand why people are bothered by the lyrics of 'Hentai'.

We'll see if the fandom ends up loving the song, what we do know is that Rosalía's new album is going to give us plenty to talk about.
