Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Candy Bling. By Songfacts®.

This song, which evokes the blissful realm of young love, was inspired by the way Nick Cannon proposed to Mariah Carey. He got her a "ring pop" - the boiled sweets that can be worn as a ring. While Mariah was sucking it, it broke open to reveal an actual diamond ring, at which point Nick got on his knees and proposed.

The song samples the 1994 West Coast hip hop single "Back in the Day" by Ahmad, who was 18 when he recorded it.

This is a track from Carey's 12th studio album, Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, which boasted the hit single "Obsessed." It was her fourth release through Island Records, the label that launched her comeback in 2005 with The Emancipation Of Mimi.
