Candy Shop was released in 2005 as a single by American rapper 50 Cent, featuring singer Olivia, and appeared on his second album, The Massacre. Produced by Scott Storch, it became one of the biggest hip-hop hits of that year and topped charts around the world. Its simple, instantly memorable chorus helped it stay in clubs, radio playlists and pop culture long after its release, and short clips of the hook are now widely reused in memes, edits and social videos.
About this sound
The catchy chorus from 50 Cent's Candy Shop, featuring Olivia, taken from his 2005 album The Massacre. Creators use it for playful, flirty and party edits.
This clip captures the instantly recognisable hook of Candy Shop, with 50 Cent's smooth, laid-back delivery riding over a slow, seductive hip-hop beat built around a simple, looping melody. The production feels warm and swaggering rather than aggressive, giving the chorus a playful, flirtatious energy that listeners recognise within a second or two. Even without the full song, the rhythm and vocal tone set a confident, party-ready mood, which is why the short excerpt works so well as a punchline, a transition or a cheeky reaction in short videos.
