"Honey Dip" is a synthpop track performed by American artist Dev, co-written by David Singer-Vine (Campa) from The Cataracs and produced by Benny Cassette with Rayintosh's assistance. Released as a single on November 5, 2014, it serves as the opening track of her EP *Bittersweet July*. The song features rap verses before its chorus, blending Dev's unique "talked singing" style.

The official music video was directed by Kreayshawn and premiered on Billboard, later released on YouTube on November 25, 2014, with an HD version the following day. The video depicts Dev at home reading magazines, taking selfies, and cooking meat for a barbecue, symbolizing her bittersweet theme.

Lyrically, "Honey Dip" explores a challenging yet sweet relationship that endures despite confusion caused by a fake world. It received positive reviews, with critics praising its personal lyrics and production, though noting it is less powerful than Dev's past hits. Dev highlighted her friendship with Kreayshawn before fame, emphasizing their shared experiences as mothers during the project.

The track's composition includes a hypnotic synth instrumental enriched with choir in the chorus, but omits the bridge and fourth chorus in the video and radio edits. Dev performed the song live on *Big Morning Buzz Live* on March 3, 2015, earning praise for her natural performance.
