Background and Composition
"Whole Lotta History" is a pop ballad written in the key of A minor. The chord progression is rather intricate but includes A, C, D, E, and G and various variations on these chords. Despite sounding more traditional than most Girls Aloud songs, "Whole Lotta History" is made up of seven different parts rather than following a verse-chorus formula. The song begins with a two-part introduction, a verse, and a pre-chorus before reaching its chorus. The song then continues with a different verse and a middle-eight. Following a repetition of the chorus, the song ends with a "wistful" conclusion sung by Sarah Harding.
