"Chocolate" first surfaced on Music for Cars, the third of the three EPs the 1975 used as a runway to their debut album, and it resurfaced as track four on The 1975 in 2013. By then the English band, with Matthew Healy singing, George Daniel on drums, Adam Hann on guitar and Ross MacDonald on bass, had been playing together since 2002, been turned down by every major label, and landed on Dirty Hit, the label run by artist manager Jamie Oborne, who discovered them.
All four share the writing credit. They had met producer Mike Crossey while making their Sex EP and worked with him as "Chocolate" took shape, and the band and Crossey spent a week holed up in their studio, spinning records and hashing out how the debut should sound.
