As her previous two singles, "Candy Line" is produced by ex-Judy and Mary member TAKUYA. The main song is described as a pop rock tune, which will remind the listener of the heyday of Judy and Mary, and will give Hitomi a "new appeal." The b-side song, "Kanjiru Mama," is produced by Gagaga SP member Kuwahara Yasunobu, and is said that it will become the center of attention on the punk scene.

Sample of the translated lyrics:

Ah, you believe in me, you want to love me

Even if I say I'm all right now

You're always waiting for me, unadorned

In a pure, unchanging place, you're laughing

And waiting for me
