"'''Candy Green'''" is a song by [[Swizz Beatz]] for [[Gap (clothing)|Gap, Inc.]]'s Sound of Color campaign.<ref>[https://thecyberkrib.wordpress.com/2008/02/17/sound-of-color-swizz-beats-raveonettes-etc/ Sound of Color: Swizz Beats, Raveonettes, etc.]</ref> It was produced by Full Surface in-house production team The Individualz.
==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.<ref>[https://www.djbooth.net/index/tracks/review/swizz-beatz-candy-green/ Listen to Swizz Beatz - Candy Green]</ref> Swizz also stated in an interview "I didn't want to do a song I wasn't comfortable giving to the DJs," Swizz tells Billboard. "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?'"<ref>[https://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6397/title.swizz-beatz-goes-green-with-the-gap Swizz Beatz Goes Green With The Gap]</ref>
