More on Candy
Description from Wikipedia:
"Candy" is the debut single by American pop singer Mandy Moore released from her debut album So Real. The music video had a cameo by the girl group PYT and a cameo by Scarlett Johannson.
This song stands as a classic example of a teen pop song from the late 90s/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,Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson.
The melody and tune of the song has a marked resemblance to the Max Martin penned 1996 song "Do You Know (What it Takes)" by Swedish pop star Robyn.
The chorus has a signature chord inversion progression.
