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:
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
—Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
“The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
