The single was certified Gold in the United States, but only managed to hit Number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 due to stalling radio airplay. Elsewhere, "Candyman" achieved mild to moderate success peaking inside the top 20 in most countries, in Australia and New Zeeland it was the best selling single from the album, peaking at number 2 in both countries.
Probably due to the pregnancy news, the label decided to not release a worldwide single, because it would have needed a lot of promotion, so the label decided to released two singles as the final single in selected countries, with little promotion. "Slow Down Baby" was released as the album's fourth single on July 30, 2007 in Australia. "Oh Mother" was released on October 8, 2007 in some parts of Europe as the fourth and final single. "Save Me From Myself" was released as a limited time single, as an "celebration" for her new born baby, on January 12, 2008.
