"Biology" is a song recorded by the British pop girlgroup Girls Aloud . Released on November 14, 2005 and being the second single released from their third studio album '' Chemistry '', the single saw a return to the top five singles chart in the UK for Girls Aloud . It featured an all-new song "Nobody But You", and also managed to reach number two in the UK download chart and was a charttopper on the UK ITunes Music Store (their biggest download hit to date). "Biology" is built around the driving piano riff from The Animals ' Club-a-go-go.


RECEPTION

"Biology" had increased popularity over the Christmas period, although it became confusing to the public as to whether it was the group's latest single. This was due to their next release, " See The Day ", hitting the shops only three weeks later.

In September 2006, the single followed in the footsteps of " No Good Advice " and " Wake Me Up " to become the winner of the Popjustice £20 Music Prize - beating Muse 's " Supermassive Black Hole " and the Sugababes ' " Push The Button ."

Peter Cashmore, writing for ''", " Love Machine " and " Something Kinda Ooooh ".


COVER ART

The art cover for the "Biology" maxi CD single (pictured right) was inspired by UK Punk band X-Ray Spex 's album cover Germ Free Adolescents . Both covers show each member in a different pose, trapped inside a large vial. Both "Biology" and the album "Germ Free Adolescents" are akin in respect to their scientific references, both visually and terminologically.




MUSIC VIDEO

, Sarah Harding , Nadine Coyle , Cheryl Cole & Nicola Roberts .]]
The music video for "Biology" consisted only of group shots.

The video began with a curtain being drawn back to reveal the band members posed in black jazz dresses as Nadine sang perched upon a black grand piano.

In a sequence of disjointed choreography, the girls changed into frilly pink and purple dresses as the scene changed to a room with flowery wallpaper with digitized butterflies floating by.

The band then changed into red and black outfits and black outfits as the scene changed twice more.
