The band has enjoyed considerable success on the Australian charts with hits "I Love It", "Pictures", "UFO" and "Kansas City", and have toured with the likes of Robbie Williams, Jamiroquai, Kanye West, and the Scissor Sisters.
The group released their eponymous debut album in Australia on 12 August 2006, eventually reaching double platinum status sometime in 2007. Their second album, 2, was released just over two years later on 18 August 2008, spawning four singles. Around this time, Pictures was released in the UK, and an album soon after - the UK version was self-titled, but actually consisted of selected tracks from both the original, Australian version of Sneaky Sound System and "2."
Their third album, From Here to Anywhere was released in Australia on October 7, 2011, featuring the singles We Love and Big.
Since 2014, the group has released one or two singles a year.

Sneaky Sound System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We love
We love, we love
We love
By the look on your face you need to get a new one
Go do tell your mother
As a story breaks to day you can discover it
We love, we love
We love
We love, we love
We love
And when we do the things we do we need another one
Boy, will we be lovers
When the star it breaks, okay, you've got a big one
Gosh, you've got me covered
Keep it undercover
(We love)
Don't tell your mother
(We love)
Can't have mine
(We love)
Try to get another
Keep it undercover
(We love)
Don't tell your mother
(We love)
Can't have mine
(We love)
Try to get another
That's what we stay and does and
Would you like to buy a shiny banana
Off with your head, you need to get another one
Don't you tell your mother
Keep it undercover
(We love)
Don't tell your mother
(We love)
Can't have mine
(We love)
Try to get another
Keep it undercover
(We love)
Don't tell your mother
(We love)
Can't have mine
(We love)
Try to get another
Keep it, we love
Keep, keep it undercover, keep keep it, we love
Keep, keep it, keep, keep, keep it, keep it
Keep it, we love
Keep, keep it undercover, keep, keep it, we love
Try to get another
Keep it undercover
(We love)
Don't tell your mother
(We love)
Can't have mine
(We love)
Try to get another
Keep it undercover
(We love)
Don't tell your mother
(We love)
Can't have mine
(We love)
Try to get another
We love, we love
We love
We love, we love
We love
The lyrics to Sneaky Sound System's song We Love appear to be hazy, with their meaning open to interpretation. The first verse appears to suggest that something needs to be replaced, as the singer encourages the listener to get a new one. Meanwhile, a storyline breaks and can be uncovered, but there's still something to be hidden or kept under the cover. The second verse feels more like a hodgepodge of words and phrases thrown together, with a reference to needing another one, becoming lovers, and having each other's backs when things go south.
Overall, the song seems to be about keeping secrets, being playful and a little mischievous, and having a good time. The repetition of "we love" throughout the song feels like a way to remind the listener that this is all in the spirit of having fun, and not to be taken too seriously. The use of phrases like "keep it undercover" and "don't tell your mother" also adds to the sense of playfulness and secrecy.
Line by Line Meaning
We love, we love
We really love what we're doing and want to emphasize it by constantly repeating it
We love
We have a passion and desire for something or someone
By the look on your face you need to get a new one
Your current facial expression is unappealing or inadequate, so you should change it
Go do tell your mother
Go seek approval from someone who has authority over you
As a story breaks today you can discover it
As new information is revealed, you can uncover and learn about it
But still look in the cover
Even though it's exposed, keep looking for more hidden details or secrets
And when we do the things we do we need another one
When we engage in certain activities, we need a companion or substitute
Boy, will we be lovers
We will become romantically involved with each other
When the star it breaks, okay, you've got a big one
When something of significance happens, you have something to be proud of
Gosh, you've got me covered
You're taking care of me or have everything under control
Keep it undercover
(We love)
Keep our love or activities a secret from others
Don't tell your mother
(We love)
Don't reveal our actions or feelings to anyone who might disapprove
Can't have mine
(We love)
I'm possessive and don't want to share what I love
Try to get another
(We love)
Find a replacement for what we love or desire
That's what we stay and does and
This is what we consistently do and enjoy
Would you like to buy a shiny banana
This is an irrelevant or nonsensical statement that doesn't relate to the rest of the song's meaning
Off with your head, you need to get another one
You need to improve or find a better solution
Keep it, we love
Keep, keep it undercover, keep keep it, we love
We want to keep doing what we love in secret and keep it to ourselves
Try to get another
Find a substitute or alternative for what we love
