The song was registered with ASCAP and lists Brad Buxer as the co-writer and likely the producer behind it.^[1]

According to Kataria's Linkedin, "World of Candy" was recorded in 2003, shortly after she met with Michael.^[2] Damien Shields also mentioned it to be a "children's song".^[3] An mjjcommunitty.com user who listened to the song, stated the track is vocally complete.^[4] Another user, who talked with the protégé, would inform that Nisha did try to release the recording herself, but that Jackson's Estate didn't authorize it.^[5]
