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

The Chills
Groove Armada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I miss the taste of it
You said time heals
There's not enough of it
The lessons are too cruel to keep
To lock the door to hide the key
To hear you cast a spell so sweet
To still have hours left to sleep
Your fear is crowdin'
And there is still
No place
For someone
Like me to fill
Don't know about luck
But I know the lack of it
Don't know about luck
But I'm losing track of it
The lessons are too cruel to keep
To lock the door to go to sleep
I know that time until it kills
You're giving me the chills
Your fear is crowdin'
And there is still
No place
For someone
Like me to fill
X2
The lessons are too cruel to keep
To lock the door to hide the key
to hear you cast a spell so sweet
And still have hours left to sleep
Your fear is crowdin'
And there is still
No place
For someone
Like me to fill
X2
The lessons are too cruel to keep
To lock the door to go to sleep
I know that time until it kills
You're giving me the chills
I know that time until it kills
you're giving me the chills
You're giving me the chills
You're giving me the chills
The lyrics to Groove Armada's song The Chills paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship, one where affection and resentment are intertwined. The first two lines, "Your tongue is sharp / But I miss the taste of it," indicate that although the singer recognizes that their partner can be hurtful, they also miss the passion and excitement of being with them. The next lines, "You said time heals / There's not enough of it," suggest that there are deeper wounds that cannot be easily overcome.
The rest of the lyrics continue to explore this theme of pain and longing. The lessons are too cruel to keep, but the singer cannot let go of the memories or the connection. The fear and anxiety that permeate the relationship create an environment where there is "no place for someone like me to fill." The refrain, "I know that time until it kills / You're giving me the chills," reinforces this overwhelming sense of unease and uncertainty.
Overall, The Chills is a song that captures the complexities of a challenging relationship, one where the highs and lows are inextricably linked.

Your tongue is sharp
Your words can be hurtful
But I miss the taste of it
Despite the potential for pain, I still crave your words
You said time heals
You offered me hope for recovery
There's not enough of it
But time seems to be running out
The lessons are too cruel to keep
The experiences we've been through are too painful to hold onto
To lock the door to hide the key
We try to bury our pain and keep it locked away
To hear you cast a spell so sweet
Your words have a hypnotic effect on me
To still have hours left to sleep
Despite the emotional turmoil, there is still time to rest
Your fear is crowdin'
Your anxiety is overwhelming
And there is still
No place
For someone
Like me to fill
Despite our connection, there is still no room for me in your life
Don't know about luck
But I know the lack of it
I may not understand good fortune, but I am familiar with misfortune
Don't know about luck
But I'm losing track of it
I'm starting to lose hope that things will improve
I know that time until it kills
I am aware that time can be destructive
You're giving me the chills
Your actions and words are causing me discomfort and unease
