Their second album "Fancy Footwork", produced by Chromeo themselves with the help of Tiga and mixed by Philippe Zdar from Cassius, was released on June 26th, 2007.
The album took them on a two-year world tour performing in festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds in the UK, Fujirock in Japan, Iceland Airwaves in Iceland, Pemberton Music Festival in Canada and Coachella, Bonnaroo, Rothbury Festival and Lollapalooza in the US.
Chromeo contributed to K7's mixed series titled DJ-Kicks: Chromeo. In summer 2010 the track ' Fancy Footwork' was used as the sound track for a VO5 Extreme Hair Gel advertisement in the UK. The YouTube video of the original release in 2008 had over 666,000 hits by late July 2010.

At the beginning of March 2011, Chromeo sent out notice that it had recorded the "world's smallest album," entitled Drive Time, which consists of 55 songs in only 183 seconds. About a week later, it was revealed that Drive Time is actually a free musical Nokia Own Voice satellite navigation pack for Ovi Maps, made for usage with Nokia's compatible cell phones. A red vinyl 5" single consisting of regular, instrumental and a cappella versions of "Turn Left" and "Follow" was released to promote it, with a sticker on the shrink wrap saying that it was a numbered limited edition of 40 copies.

Chromeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's gonna have your time?
Who's gonna have your back, when the shove comes a pushin'? (Uh, ooh baby)
Who's gonna have your back?
I know you do
I'm pretty sure you had it since I've met you
I listen to you talk,And it's like you forgetin' about all the bullshit that we've been through
But I've paid my dues, whatever you choose
I took the burden off of you too
I don't know why it's such a struggle to make you come around to my point of view
And I know it's gonna take time
But you know that I care
But baby I know it's gonna take time
But you know that I'm there
And when it gets down to it
I can never leave I'm too proud
I've got my mind made up, my feet on the ground
When you're up all night and you never make a sound
Where I'm not too far if you look around
Who's gonna have your right, when your left needs leanin'? (Ooh baby)
Who's gonna take your side?
Who's gonna hold you down, when your heart beat's beatin'?
Ooh baby you know
I know it's you
That's no excuse
And we can't go back, cause there's no pact and there's no truce
In other words, it's just no use
I told you first, when you know the truthI know you're thirsty for a change,
But nothing can arrange the strangeness that we're goin' through
And I know it's gonna take time
But you know that I care
But baby I know it's gonna take time
But you know that I'm there
And when it gets down to it
I can never leave I'm too proud
I've got my mind made up, my feet on the ground
When you're up all night and you never make a sound
Where I'm not too far if you look around
And I know it's gonna take time
But you know that I care
But baby I know it's gonna take time
But you know that I'm there
And when it gets down to it
We had much of everything
Your touch was everything
Went dutch on everything
But got lost on the way home
We had much of everything
Your touch was everything
Went dutch on everything
But got lost on the way home
Lost on the way home
Lost on the way home
Lost on the way home
Lost on the way home
Lost on the way home
Lost on the way home
The lyrics to Chromeo's song Lost On The Way Home describe a rough patch in a relationship where both parties are unsure of each other's loyalty and support. The chorus poses questions about who will be there for the other person through thick and thin, and the verses explore the struggle to communicate and come to a mutual understanding. The singer expresses their dedication to the relationship and their frustration with the other person's difficulty in seeing things from their perspective.
The repeated line "lost on the way home" suggests a feeling of being adrift or directionless, possibly representing the muddled emotions and conflicting priorities of the two characters. Despite all of the challenges, the singer remains committed to the relationship and willing to work through the difficulties.
Overall, the song is a melancholy yet hopeful reflection on the ups and downs of relationships and the importance of sticking together through the tough times.

I know you do
I know that you care about me and have my back
I'm pretty sure you had it since I've met you
I believe that you've had my back since we met
I listen to you talk, And it's like you forgetin' about all the bullshit that we've been through
When I hear you speak, it seems like you're ignoring the issues we've faced
But I've paid my dues, whatever you choose, I took the burden off of you too
I've done my part and helped you, regardless of your decisions and struggles
I don't know why it's such a struggle to make you come around to my point of view
I don't understand why it's difficult for you to see things from my perspective
But you know that I care, And when it gets down to it
You know that I care about you, especially in difficult situations
I can never leave I'm too proud, I've got my mind made up, my feet on the ground
I'm too proud to abandon you, and I'm firm in my decisions
When you're up all night and you never make a sound, Where I'm not too far if you look around
When you're struggling silently and need help, I'm not too far away to lend a hand
Who's gonna have your right, when your left needs leanin'? (Ooh baby), Who's gonna take your side?
Who will support you when you need it most? (Ooh baby) Who will stand by your side?
Who's gonna hold you down, when your heart beat's beatin'? Ooh baby you know
Who will comfort you in times of emotional distress? You know it's me
And we can't go back, cause there's no pact and there's no truce, In other words, it's just no use
We can't return to the past because there's no agreement or understanding, so it's pointless
I know you're thirsty for a change, But nothing can arrange the strangeness that we're goin' through
I know you want things to be different, but the situation we're in is too strange to fix
We had much of everything, Your touch was everything, Went dutch on everything
We had a lot together, your touch meant everything, and we shared expenses equally
But got lost on the way home, Lost on the way home, Lost on the way home, Lost on the way home, Lost on the way home, Lost on the way home
But somewhere along the way, we lost our way and couldn't find our path home

Chromeo are the kind of creative geniuses that I pay good money to see in any country they happen to be performing in!
SO IMPRESSED!
Music at it's best people!
Please don't leave any negative unnecessary comments unrelated to this, as that would indicate either stupidity, ignorance or mental health issues and is embarrassing to you, your friends and family!
Love and peace everyone!
Thank God, people can make music like this!
