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:
“There is singularly nothing that makes a difference a difference in beginning and in the middle and in ending except that each generation has something different at which they are all looking. By this I mean so simply that anybody knows it that composition is the difference which makes each and all of them then different from other generations and this is what makes everything different otherwise they are all alike and everybody knows it because everybody says it.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
