"Yummy" is a song by American singer Gwen Stefani, from her second studio album, The Sweet Escape (2010). It was written by Stefani and Pharrell Williams, who also solely produced the song. It was recorded during several sessions in Miami in July 2005, for an intended EP or as extra tracks on a DVD.[1] The songs also ended up being playing during a premiere fashion show for Stefani's fashion line, L.A.M.B..[2]
Interscope Records released the track as a promotional single a month before the album's release in November 2006. It was released as a three-track maxi promo single and as a 12" vinyl single, where both of them featured a radio edit, an instrumental, and a cappella version of the song.[3][4]

Together they recorded "Wind It Up", "Orange County Girl", "U Started It", "Breakin' Up", "Candyland", and "Yummy". [5]
