Candy

"Candy" is track seven of Two Star & the Dream Police, 2:54, written by Gordon alone and produced by him. It was released on August 11, 2023 as a double A-side with "How Many Miles", though Wikipedia cites a 2022 article for the same release. Will Schube of Flood called it a funk-leaning lo-fi pop jam with psychedelic guitar and vocoder, and Clash noted that the disorientating breakdown of the song clears the way for a nostalgia-drenched guitar solo. A reviewer reads fast-paced songs like this as invincible puppy love followed by heartbreak on "I Want"; that is a listener's reading, and we found no statement from Mk.gee about the song.

It is the second most played song in his live set on setlist.fm, 76 performances ("DNM" has 126, "Are You Looking Up" 63, "Alesis" 60 and "Dream Police" 60). In 2025 it was played at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 2, Way Out West on August 8, Oyafestivalen on August 9, Rock en Seine on August 21 and the Austin City Limits Lady Bird Stage on October 12. At the Brooklyn Paramount on September 29, 2024 he played it mid-set and again to close after the "Alesis" encore, and at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Massachusetts he played it again as an encore after the crowd cheered. The jam band Eggy covered it for the first time at the Barrelhouse Ballroom in Chattanooga in April 2025. We found no chart history and no video beyond the audio upload.
