"Melt in Your Mouth" is a song by American rapper Candyman and the second single from his debut studio album Ain't No Shame in My Game (1990). A hip-hop song with lighthearted R&B elements, ^[1] it borrows the melody of "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" by The Spinners. The song references the M&M's slogan "the milk chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your hand".

Critical reception

Colin Larkin considered the song one of the "more distasteful cuts" from Ain't No Shame in My Game. ^[2]
