An energetic and upbeat R&B song that talks about a woman's desire to cater to the male love interest of her life, "Sandwich and a Soda" contains a heavy electric bass and slightly squealing organ hits in its instrumentation.
"Sandwich and a Soda" was released as the album's lead single by the Plus One Music Group and Def Jam Recordings on February 24, 2015.
Set in California, it depicts Tamia on a Sunday afternoon, strutting down the streets of a town in her cadillac before visiting a cantina.
"Sandwich and a Soda" is a "smoky, jazz-kissed" mid-tempo R&B song written by Tamia along with Stephen Mostyn, Autoro Whitfield, Alicia Renee Williams, Warren "Oak" Felder, and Andrew "Pop" Wansel, with production helmed by the latter two.
And that's mildly interesting, but there's so much else going on — layers of keyboards and vocals, buried loops of cries and shouts, the couplet “If you wanna ride these curves/ hop in your Chevy Nova.”[6] Similarly, Los Angeles Times reporter Gerrick D. Kennedy called "Sandwich and a Soda" one "of the album's stronger offerings, it's the closest she gets to painting outside her traditional color palette with its heavy electric bass and slight organ hits.
"[8] Allan Raible from ABC News called "Sandwich and a Soda" a "smooth, bass-heavy ode to eating after a session of lovemaking."
