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 ↴
Because they come alive
My visions of the city street
All of electrify
I feel your heat
I never wanna let you go
I rock too this beat
Yeah you can write me a love letter
But there's nothing to say
Don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway
Yea you can rub it off much better
If you come away
My golden heart beats for you
My golden heart beats for two
I feel my pain
The time it takes
For us to change
Its gonna happen anyway
I feel your heat
I never wanna let you go
I rock to this beat
I'm standing here to let you know
Yeah you can write me a love letter
But there's nothing to say
Don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway
Yea you can rub it off much better
If you come away

Don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway
Yeah you can write me a love letter

The lyrics to Groove Armada's "Paper Romance" reflect a passionate and electrifying night out in the city. The opening lines suggest that the air is charged with excitement and that the singer's surroundings have come to life. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to stay in the moment with their partner and to avoid focusing on cold, paper declarations of love. There is a sense of urgency and intensity as the singer tries to convey their feelings through the beat of the music.
The lyrics "My golden heart beats for you / My golden heart beats for two / I feel my pain / The time it takes / For us to change / Its gonna happen anyway" suggest a kind of fatalism, as if the singer knows that their relationship is destined for change - but they are still willing to give it their all. The repeated chorus drives home the idea that the singer is focused on the present moment and doesn't want to look too far ahead or worry about the future.
Overall, "Paper Romance" is a passionate and energetic song that captures the thrill and excitement of a night out in the city, as well as the intensity of being in love.
