Candy (Cameo song)

"Candy" is a song by American funk band Cameo, released as the second single from their 1986 album Word Up!.

Set against a backdrop of Times Square and various neon signs, the video features a high level of video compositing, with multiple layers of the band members and dancers appearing on screen in varying sizes and depths of field at once.

The song has been sampled by various artists, including 2Pac ("All Bout U", featured on his album All Eyez on Me), Will Smith ("Candy", on his album Big Willie Style), and Mariah Carey ("Loverboy", on the soundtrack to the film Glitter); the latter song would reach #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001.

The Black Eyed Peas sampled it for the song "Ba Bump" from their album Monkey Business.

Tichina Arnold sampled the basis for her song "Sweet Love" off her album Soul Free.
