"Sweet" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American hip hop boy band Brockhampton, released on August 22, 2017 as the fourth single from their second studio album Saturation II (2017).
In the song, members Matt Champion, Dom McLennon, Merlyn Wood, Ameer Vann and Joba rap about their respective backgrounds and the struggles they have faced while growing up.[1] Kevin Abstract performs the chorus.[2] [3]
Joe Price of Complex described the song as "incredibly catchy" and considered its hook to be one of Brockhampton's best. Matthew Strauss of Pitchfork wrote that Dom McLennon "puts on a show" in the song.[4] Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic commented the song "lures listeners with its unorthodox production".[5]

The music video was directed by Kevin Abstract, shot by Ashlan Grey, and filmed in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. It features grainy visuals and has been described as "low-concept but highly effective".[7]
