"Sweet Potatoe Pie" was the second single released from Domino's self-titled debut album, Domino. Like his previous single, it was produced and co-written by DJ Battlecat.

Released as the follow-up to his smash hit, "Getto Jam", "Sweet Potatoe Pie" also became a top 40 hit, peaking at 27 on the Billboard Hot 100, his final single to do so. The original song used a sample of Soul II Soul's 1989 single "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)". The official remix entitled the "Sweet Vibes" remix was produced by the Gang of Four and used a sample of "Mysterious Vibes" by The Blackbyrds.
