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

Drifted, so drifted
Drifted, so drifted
Drifted, so drifted
The song "Drifted" by Groove Armada contains only these four repeated lines with no additional lyrics. The repetition of the word "drifted" in the song implies a feeling of aimlessness or being lost, possibly in a dream-like state. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the feeling of drifting and being unable to find direction or a specific path. The song is likely open to interpretation but may evoke feelings of uncertainty or disorientation.
The instrumental composition of the song features a chill and relaxed electronic beat with various synth and percussion elements. The song is a part of Groove Armada's 2007 album "Soundboy Rock" and is recognized as one of their more low-key tracks. Despite the simplicity of the lyrics and the melody, the song has a hypnotic quality and can be interpreted as an introspective song about life's constant ups and downs.
