## Background

Peaking at #19 on the UK Singles Chart and becoming certified Gold in the United States, "Chocolate" is arguably The 1975’s most well-known song. The song’s popularity gave the band their first radio play. "Chocolate" was released as a single from their self-titled debut album, but it was originally recorded and released on their Music for Cars EP.

A music video to accompany the release of "Chocolate" was first released onto YouTube on 20 February 2013 at a total length of three minutes and forty-seven seconds. It was directed by Gareth Philips.

It is primarily filmed in and around the Limehouse area of London, featuring Canary Wharf, the Limehouse Link and Aspen way landmarks. The group are shown riding around in a vintage 1975 Ford Consul, originally from the British television show The Sweeney.

## Lyrics

Hey, now I call it a split 'cause I know that you will

Uh, oh, you bite your friends like chocolate

And you said, "We go where nobody knows, we got guns hidden under our petticoats.

No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no."

Now run, run away from the boys in the blue,

Oh, my car smells like chocolate

Hey, now I think about what to do, I think about what to say, I think about how to think

Pause it, play it, pause it, play it, pause it

Oh, we go where nobody knows, we've guns hidden under our petticoats

We're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe,

We've got guns hidden under our petticoats.

No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

"Now, you're never gonna quit it, now you're never gonna quit it, now you're never gonna quit it

If you don't stop smoking it," that's what she said.

She said, "We're dressed in black, head to toe.

We've got guns hidden under our petticoats.

And "We're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no."

Hey, now we're building up speed as we're approaching the hill

Oh, my hair smells like chocolate

Hey, now you say you're gonna quit it but you're never gonna quit it

Go get it, go get it, go get it, go get it, go

And play it cool!

Oh, you said we go where nobody knows, we've guns hidden under our petticoats

No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe,

We've got guns hidden under our petticoats

We're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

Well, I think we better go,

Seriously better go

Said the feds are here you know

Seriously better go, oh, oh,

Well, I think we better go

Said the feds are here you know

Said Rebecca better know

Seriously better go

We go where nobody knows, we've guns hidden under our petticoats

No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe,

We've guns hidden under our petticoats

We're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

No, no, no

Well, I think we better go,

Seriously better go

Said the feds are here you know

Seriously better go, oh, oh,

Well, I think we better go

Said the feds are here you know

Said Rebecca better know

Seriously better go
