Chiddy Bang formed when Anamege and Beresin met at Drexel University in 2008. After months of support from underground music blogs, the pair released their debut mixtape The Swelly Express via blog Pretty Much Amazing. The release was met with widespread acclaim and led to the group signing a recording contract with EMI in January 2010.
Their first commercial single on the label taken from their The Swelly Express mixtape, Opposite of Adults, samples the Brooklyn group MGMT's 'Kids' and was released on February 21, 2010 in the UK. It reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart and later peaked at 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. A second single from the mixtape titled Truth was released in the UK and peaked at number 50. Following this success, Chiddy Bang released a second mixtape exclusively within the UK featuring remixes and adaptations of popular British artists including tinie tempah, ellie goulding and kate nash.
In October 2010 the pair released Chiddy Bang: The Preview - an EP consisting of previous singles and new material - serving as a prelude to their debut album scheduled for release in Spring 2011.

Chiddy Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no one like me
Th-th-there is no one like me, (Chiddy bang) like me
Manners, take a second look and you'll see
(Hell we're pretty much amazing)
There is no one like me (yeah)
There is no one like me, like me (mind your manners)
There is no one like
And all the people should be raising they glasses
Flow crazy, celebrating the madness
I never thought I would deliver no classics
Then I hooked up with them and then delivered no classics
I be keeping it true, hotel good long as I can peep on the view
Like like, damn how high are we?
They gotta gamble in this life, Charles Barkley
I'm over protected, through the dopest of methods
Now my vocals perfected, this is audio breakfast
Yes, so tell a hater here's the slammer
I know they hating on us, but mind your manners
Manners, take a second look and you'll see (and you'll see)
There is no one like me (like me)
Th-th-there is no one like me (like me)
Like me (L-l-l-l-like me)
Manners, you better reconsider (consider)
'Cause you will never do better (do better)
There is no one like me (like me)
Like me (l-l-l-l-like me)
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba (See this is etiquette right here, you know what I'm sayin')
Ba-da-ba-ba-ba there is no manners
There is no one like me (mind your manners)(there is no one)
So say la la la, I arrive a lot
Black-eyed I am, I surprised a lot
And I can't rely, on another guy
I was caterpillared into a butterfly
I'm living in the moment, why won't you go and own it?
And we don't got the spirits, at least we could done it
Order sake homey, I be sipping Thai Ku
And you get the wrong number if I don't like you
Say I'm the man, tell me why I gotta lie too?
Anybody I'm the best, girl let me advise you
Why? because I'm feeling invincible
Junior high school I had a crush on the principal
I guess I was turned on by the leadership
Now we got the game wrapped up on some pita shit (like, like me)
So tell a hater here's the slammer
I know they hating on us, but mind your manners
Manners, take a second look and you'll see (and you'll see)
There is no one like me (like me)
Th-th-there is no one like me (like me)
Like me (L-l-l-l-like me)
Manners, you better reconsider (consider)
'Cause you will never do better (do better)
There is no one like me (like me)
Like me (l-l-l-l-like me)
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba (we gonna be here forever, man)
(Mind your manners) there is no one like me
(Chiddy) there is no one like
ah, say fool, Sam (Mind your manners)
Pretty much 'till they kick me out the booth
And we pretty much amazing
Manners, take a second look and you'll see
There is no one like me (mind your manners)
Th-th-there is no one like me

Manners, you better reconsider
'Cause you will never do better
There is no one like me, like me

Manners, take a second look and you'll see
There is no one like me
