 Many hip hop blogs guessed the song might be about rapper Drake, as he often interjects singing into his raps and "Sweet" makes critical jabs at singing rappers.Common insisted "Sweet" was about anyone who feels it and not specifically written for any person, but in concert in L.A., Drake fired shots widely seen as directed towards Common, and on January 6, 2012, Drake once again responded on a track called "Stay Schemin'" from Rick Ross' new mixtape Rich Forever.This resulted in Common remixing the same track with his own verse and the lines "I’m taking too long with this amateur guy, You ain’t wet nobody, n****, you Canada Dry".
