Candy

"Candy" is the debut single by American pop singer Mandy Moore, which was released from her debut album, So Real. The music video, which was directed by Chris Robinson, had a cameo by the girl group PYT. This song stands as a classic example of a teen pop song from the late 1990s/early 2000s. Record labels began riding the wave of teen-oriented pop music, which would result in a huge phenomenon sweeping the globe, including young female singers such as Moore, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and Christina Aguilera. The melody and tune of the song has a marked resemblance to the 1996 song "Do You Know (What It Takes)," which was written and composed by Max Martin and Denniz Pop and recorded, written and released by Swedish pop star Robyn.
