"Candy" is a song by American pop singer Mandy Moore. Serving as Moore's debut single, it was released as the lead single from her first studio album, So Real (1999), on August 17, 1999, by Epic Records and 550 Music. Internationally, the song was released as the first single from I Wanna Be with You (2000).[1][2] The song was written and composed by Denise Rich, Dave Katz, Denny Kleiman, and produced by Jive Jones, Tony Battaglia, and Shaun Fisher.[3]

The song was moderately successful on the US charts, peaking at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1999, and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for having sold more than 500,000 copies in the US. The success of the single led to an earlier release date for So Real.[4]
