"Candy" is a song from Iggy Pop's ninth solo album, Brick by Brick. A duet with Kate Pierson of the B-52's, it was the album's second single in September 1990. It became the biggest mainstream hit of Pop's career, as he reached the top 40 in the United States for the first and only time. The song additionally peaked within the top 10 in Australia, Belgium and the Netherlands. "I've written one good pop song: 'Candy'," he noted. "It's a very decent, proper pop song, but that's as far as that went."^[1]

The cover was drawn by American cartoonist Charles Burns. "Candy" reappeared on the 1996 compilation Nude & Rude: The Best of Iggy Pop and the 2005 two-disc collection A Million in Prizes: The Anthology.
