Savor the emotional depth of Caramel, the focus track from Conan Gray’s fourth studio album Wishbone, set to drop on August 15, 2025. This grunge-inflected pop anthem, pulsating with raw vulnerability, captures Conan’s introspective journey through love and self-discovery, teased with a dreamy music video on TikTok.
Unlike the wistful longing of People Watching from Superache, the chaotic energy of Disaster, or the synth-driven rush of Never Ending Song, Caramel weaves a nostalgic, bittersweet narrative, echoing Wishbone’s themes of childhood reflection and emotional clarity. Produced by Dan Nigro, it stands as track eight, following Vodka Cranberry’s chart success. Dive into the Caramel lyrics below, and feel the bittersweet pulse of growing up.

Lyrics of Caramel by Conan Gray
[Intro]
One, Two
[Verse 1]
Well, In The Moment, You Weren’t All That Kind
You With Your Wide-eyed Grins, All I Can See When I Think Of That Time
Promises Spoken, All Coming Back As Lies
But You With Your Subsweet Kiss Is All I Miss In The Back Of My Mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Did Me Wrong In The Past
And I Know It Was Bad
[Chorus]
But You Burn Inside My Memory So Well
You Caramel
You’re Caramel
[Verse 2]
Your Cigarette Breath Thick On Your Open Mouth
Maple And Amber Clouds And Coffee Grounds When I Think Of It Now
Oh, And All The Nights With Your Friends Around, Ignoring Me So They Won’t Find Out
You Can Act Real Cool ’cause It’s Over Now,
But, Man, You Cried When It All Went Down
And No One Believed Me, You Gaslighted Feelings
Still You Had Me Thinking That I Was The Reason That I Was Fucking Losing My Mind
[Pre-Chorus]
It Was Love At The Worst
It Was What We Deserved
[Chorus]
Yeah, You Burn Inside My Memory So Well
You Caramel
You’re Caramel
And The Longer Burn, The Sweeter That You Smell
You Caramel
You’re Caramel
[Bridge]
Sweet Taste In My Mouth
I Can’t Get It Out
I Want You Back Now And We’re Making Out
Drunk, Sleeping On My Couch
Now When I Hear You’re In Town,
I Just Won’t Care About (Ooh-ooh)
Well, I Heard You’re In Town
I Want You Back Now
Come Over My House, There’s Space In My Couch
[Chorus]
Yeah, You Burn Inside My Memory So Well
You Caramel
You’re Caramel
