Written by Richard X and Hannah Robinson, the song is based on metaphor which likens men to chewing gum. The song was released as the album's lead single in August 2004. It received positive reviews from music critics. "Chewing Gum" was the album's most commercially successful single, reaching number eight on the Norwegian Singles Chart and number twenty-five on the UK Singles Chart.〔〔 The song has been featured on the online game ''Audition Online'' and an update trailer for the online game ''Blockland''〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7x8Pv960hU〕〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goxXAPBUGgs〕 as well as in television programmes such as ''Glee''〔(Pilot.

The song was also featured in the film ''Big Momma's House 2''.〔(Soundtracks for Big Momma's House 2 ) IMDB〕 ==Background and writing== Producer Richard X was impressed with Annie's debut single "Greatest Hit". He asked Annie to record vocals for his debut album ''Richard X Presents His X-Factor Vol. 1''. In exchange, he contributed "Chewing Gum", co-written with Hannah Robinson, to ''Anniemal''.〔Draper, Jimmy. ("Norwegian would" ). ''San Francisco Bay Guardian''. Retrieved 26 August 2008.〕 Richard X's songwriting was inspired by a put-down that his girlfriend devised to describe self-important, vain people.〔Frere-Jones, Sasha. "Singles Going Steady". ''The New Yorker'', volume 81, issue 14, page 18. 23 May 2005.〕 The song's lyrics compare being in a relationship with chewing gum, "chewing for fun" and then moving on to the next relationship "when all the flavor has gone." Annie compared the song's sound to the work of new wave group the Tom Tom Club.〔Foley, Jack. ("Annie - Chewing over the heartbreak along the way to success" ). IndieLondon. Retrieved 8 September 2008.〕 Reviewers compared "Chewing Gum" to the group's 1981 single "Genius of Love".〔Rosen, Jody. ("Much Ado About Annie" ). ''New York Times''. 1 May 2005.
