Their most famous work is the 2000 international hit I See You Baby, remixed by Fatboy Slim in the Big Beat style -- with the repeated chorus line "Shakin' that ass," as heard in Renault Mégane advertisements. Vocals were provided by Ibiza-based DJ Gram'Ma Funk. Incidentally, this track was also recorded with the chorus line "Shakin' that thang" as a radio edit. While this is their most famous work, they have also produced less mainstream songs which are often featured in television adverts.
In the early part-of 2008 after parting company with Sony BMG, Groove Armada signed an "all encompassing deal" with the Bacardi rum brand that allows them to use GA's tracks for adverts. For more information, read Bands turn to brands in new deals

GROOVE ARMADA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her words are like a song on the radio
Atascado en tu cabeza sin nada significativo
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
Ella solo dirá lo que cree que quieres escuchar
She′ll only say what she thinks you wanna hear
You hope that she will notice, but she won't
Que podrías darle lo que los demás no
That you could give her what the others don′t
Ella te hará creerlo, si te mantiene cerca
She'll make you believe it, if it will keep you near
Atascado en tu cabeza sin nada significativo
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
Ella es todo por lo que estoy viviendo, sí
She's all I′m living for, yeah
Atascado en tu cabeza sin nada significativo
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
Ella es todo por lo que estoy viviendo, sí
She′s all I'm living for, yeah
Amante solo por ahora ...
Lover just for now...
Ahí vas buscándola de nuevo
There you go looking for her again
Pero, ¿cuántos antes que tú ha habido?
But how many before you have there been?
¿Sigues creyendo que eres el único que lo intenta?
Do you still believe that you′re the only one that tries?
Ella se burlará de ti con su cuerpo que hace alarde
She'll tease you with her body that she flaunts
Mientras ella obtenga lo que quiere
As long as she is getting what she wants
Y te lo comerás mientras ella te alimenta con mentiras
And you′ll eat it up as she feeds you lies
Atascado en tu cabeza sin nada significativo
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
Ella es todo por lo que estoy viviendo, sí
She's all I′m living for, yeah
Atascado en tu cabeza sin nada significativo
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
Ella es todo por lo que estoy viviendo, sí
She's all I'm living for, yeah
Amante solo por ahora ...
Lover just for now...
¿Por qué quieres estar enamorado?
Why do you wanna be in love?
Perdiendo tu tiempo
Wasting your time
Necesitas un poco de cordura,
Ya has tenido suficiente perdiendo el tiempo
You need a little sanity, you′ve had enough wasting your time
Amante solo por ahora ...
Lover just for now...
Atascado en tu cabeza sin nada significativo
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
Ella es todo por lo que estoy viviendo, sí
She′s all I'm living for, yeah
Sus palabras son como una canción en la radio
Her words are like a song on the radio
Ella es todo por lo que estoy viviendo, sí
She′s all I'm living for, yeah
Amante solo por ahora, ya has tenido suficiente
Lover just for now, you′ve had enough
Perdiendo tu tiempo...
Wasting your time...
In "Don't Give Up," Groove Armada discusses the theme of being stuck in a relationship that lacks depth and meaning. The lyrics depict someone who is infatuated with a person whose words and actions are superficial and manipulative. The song portrays the singer's realization that they are wasting their time and emotions on someone who cannot reciprocate genuine love.
The opening lines, "Her words are like a song on the radio/Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful," suggest that the other person's words may be enticing and catchy, but ultimately lack substance. The singer acknowledges that the person they are drawn to will only say what they think the listener wants to hear, creating an illusion of connection. However, the singer recognizes that this person will never truly understand or appreciate them.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer's infatuation with this person is all-consuming and becomes the sole purpose of their existence. It highlights the unhealthy nature of the relationship and the singer's inability to break free, even though they long for something more meaningful.

Wasting your time

Hey Universe
Can I tell you all something that in my life I have never seen 3 things
1. Aliens 👽
2. Dinosaur 🦕
3 . Another beautiful girl than her
So I was lucky in my life that I got the chance to met her, and no my life but she is a healer she healed me
And
She told me about this song and trust me I am in love with this song
Every time I hear this song I imagine her with me
She is soo puree
And guess what
I love Her
I love You My Healer
You know there are 3 things which never stinks ❤
