1) Scarlet was a UK duo from Hull. They originally consisted of Cheryl Parker (vocals, guitar) and Jo Youle (piano, keyboards, vocals). The group had a third member, Joanne Fox, but she left before the band had any major success.

The band had their first UK hit with "Independent Love Song" (UK #12) in 1995 featured in the film "Bed of Roses," which was followed by their album Naked (UK #53). The group's second UK single "I Wanna Be Free (To Be With Him)" became a minor hit (UK #21), but the next single "Love Hangover" flopped (UK #54).

In 1996, Scarlet issued a new single "Bad Girl", but this also stalled at #54. The album Chemistry missed the top 75 completely, and it was after this relative failure that WEA dropped the band and they went their separate ways.

2) Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2000, Scarlet are a technical metalcore band who also utilize electronic elements. They released the EP 'Breaking the Dead Stare' in 2000 which was followed in 2003 by the more complex and experimental 'Something to Lust About' shortly after signing to Ferret Music. They released the concept album 'Cult Classic' in 2004 before deciding to call it a day.

However, in 2005, the group re-united with a revised line up to release 'This Was Always Meant to Fall Apart'. Their last lineup consisted of Andreas Magnusson (Drums/Electronics), Brandon Roundtree (Vocals), Randy Vanderbilt (Guitar/Vocals) and Bryan Tolbert (Guitar).

The band called it quits permanently after Roundtree (vocals) left the band in early 2007.

However their myspace hints slightly that this break may not be permanent.

3) Defunct Sydney band who recently reemerged as Luxury. Released an EP called "Siren" (1993) and one album called "Magnolia" (1995).

4) Scarlet is a Chinese jazz singer, from the record label TIS (Treasure Island), singing famous jazz standards.

5) Scarlet is an American post-rock, progressive, alternative, and acoustic band based out of St. Louis, MO. Current members are Jeremy Tripp, Katy Durrwachter, Jon Todd, John Pecher, and Ben May. Scarlet can be found easiest at www.myspace.com/wearescarlet and on Last.fm at last.fm/wearescarlet. They are expected to release their debut EP in 2009.

6) Scarlet was a 6-member (some websites state four member), female K-pop group formed by Funny Collection Entertainment that appeared in 2014, released two singles and permanently disbanded sometime in 2015. Although debuting as a 6-member group (Sara, JiHye, Kimi, Rabyuel, Yerim and Aromi), it's been stated on some websites that it was announced sometime that same year that Yerim and Aromi would be leaving and Scarlet reformed as a 4-member group to release Hip Song. There is still some confusion on this point as although the claim of reforming as a four member group is made across a few sites, five members are in the music video for Hip Song - Sara, JiHye, Kimi, Rabyuel and Aromi. After Scarlet disbanded, Kimi joined another K-pop group, BULLDOK.

7) Scarlet (Styalized as 'SCARLET') is a metal group from Sweden, founded on 22nd September, 2017. Led by vocalist Scarlet Hunts. Debut album 'Obey The Queen' will be released on November 13th, 2020, via Arising Empire.

Scarlet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know your hair's not right
and your eyes are far too near your nose
You laugh at your own jokes
and all your friends say that you're gross

You know that you're not my kind
Well, that I'd had in mind
But the flame you light that burns so bright

It's chemistry, mmm, mmm

This is not about Sodium
This is not about Hydrogen
This is not about Ecstasy
It's chemistry
This is not about love,(oh no)
This not about sex, (at all)
This is not about you and me
It's chemistry

You know you're far too old
and the clothes you wear aren't vey hip
I'd never take you home
'Cos you'd turn up drunk and end up sick

You know that you're not my kind
Well, that I'd had in mind
But the flame you light that burns so bright
It's chemistry, mmm, mmm

This is not about Sodium
This is not about Hydrogen
This is not about Ecstasy
It's chemistry
This is not about love,(oh no)
This not about sex, (at all)
This is not about you and me

You know that you're not my kind
Well, that I'd had in mind
But the flame you light that burns so bright
It's chemistry, mmm, mmm

This is not about Sodium

This is not about Ecstasy
It's chemistry
This is not about love,(oh no)
This not about sex, (at all)
This is not about you and me
It's chemistry
This is not about Oxygen
This is not about Nitrogen

This is not about Ecstasy
It's chemistry

Overall Meaning

"Chemistry" by Scarlet is a song about the inexplicable attraction between two people despite their apparent differences. The lyrics describe the physical flaws and faults of the singer's love interest yet also acknowledge the intense chemistry they share. Even though both parties are aware that they don't quite match up to each other's expectations, they are still drawn to each other in a way that is beyond their understanding.

The chorus, which repeats the phrase "This is not about Sodium, this is not about Hydrogen, this is not about Ecstasy, it's chemistry," emphasizes that their connection goes beyond basic elements, drugs, or even romance. It's an attraction that defies logical explanations, rooted in the complex and mysterious forces that drive human beings together.

Overall, "Chemistry" is a song about the enigma of attraction and the inexplicable power of chemistry between people who are otherwise incompatible.
