Candyman is the thirteenth track on the album and runs 3:49. Dan the Automator produced it. Justin Warfield delivers a hip-hop vocal over a looped guitar riff from Larry Coryell's The Opening. Neate wrote that a decade later it was dropped untouched into a footwear campaign.
That campaign was Nike's commercial for the LeBron James VI shoe, The Six Chalk, in 2008. The band released a remix of the song as a vinyl-only single in 1998.
