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.
