Composition
Musically, "Chocolate" utilizes a dance written song, but features elements of pop and R&B. Along with her studio album Body Language (2003), the song is known to be very different to Minogue's signature music, which was more uptempo dance music. Lyrically, the talks about "A heart-broken girl, who has cried rivers over previous boyfriends, finally finds a man who's as smooth as chocolate." According to BBC Music, they said the musical composition "sticks, so you'll be humming that, but the verses are too slow to make an impact. Also, you can't hear Kylie's voice for all the computer synthesisation." Helen Pidd from The Guardian noticed the songs "saccharine innuendo and breathy vocals".
Before the commercial release of Minogue's version, "Chocolate" was originally a duet including a rap by Ludacris, however it wasn't released as the final mix. Then in 2006, the song was leaked online worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“If I don’t write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing ... I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
