"Candy Green" is a song by Swizz Beatz for Gap, Inc.'s Sound of Color campaign. It was produced by The Individuals.

Background

Developed by Gap Clothing and Rehab (a San Francisco-based production company), five artists across multiple genres were asked to record original material that represented the Sound of Color. Asked to write and perform a treatment for the color green, Swizz Beatz partnered with producers The Individuals, and together they created a song about driving in a drop top through the flashy streets of Miami, Florida.

"I took the approach of, 'How would I use green in a painting without making green the main ingredient, and use it in the slickest way?'"
