Caramel (City High song)
"Caramel" is the second single released from American hip hop trio City High's self-titled debut album. The single, released on September 11, 2001, features American rapper Eve. It was produced by Jerry Duplessis and written by Ryan Toby. "Caramel" is the group's second-most-successful single, peaking at number 18 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart in January 2002. The track contains vocal samples from the song "Silent Treatment" by the Roots, and a drum sample from Al Green’s “I’m Glad You’re Mine”.

Music video
A music video was produced for the song that begins with the original version and transitions into the Trackmasters remix version. It begins with a shot of Ryan Toby and Robbie Pardlo on a computer that shows the words "Dream Girl 2001". It then cuts to a shot of Ortiz singing the first verse, and then the trio is dancing at a party as Ortiz sings. The video continues switching from Ortiz singing on a couch, the trio at the party, and Ortiz boxing Zab Judah. As the third verse, the first not sung by Ortiz, begins, it features the guys in a car. The video switches to Eve on a motorcycle and starting her rap. The video ends with Toby and Pardlo still in front of the computer, watching the video.
