Happy Chocolate Day! Here’s a playlist of ten songs to celebrate every single chocolate desire, in various languages.
For something so universally adored, chocolate remains surprisingly underrated. Sure, we gift it on Valentine’s Day, savour it during celebrations, or reach for it when in need of comfort — but do we truly celebrate chocolate for all it represents? Beyond its rich, indulgent flavour, chocolate has long been a symbol of joy, love, and life’s simple pleasures. And today, on Chocolate Day, it’s only fitting that we shine a brighter spotlight on this positive, mood-boosting food.
While chocolate often gets unfairly associated with guilt or overindulgence, science tells a sweeter story. Studies have shown that quality dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and flavonoids that support heart health, improve blood circulation, and may even boost brain function. Not to mention, chocolate can trigger the release of endorphins — the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals — making it as uplifting for our mental state as it is delicious for our taste buds.
But chocolate doesn’t just nourish the body — it has found its way into the soundtrack of our lives too. Music about chocolate brings with it the same sense of comfort, sweetness, and nostalgia. From playful pop anthems to soulful ballads, these songs can lift spirits, evoke memories, and sweeten even the dullest of days. It’s proof that chocolate’s influence extends far beyond the kitchen — into culture, art, and music.
So, in honour of Chocolate Day, here’s a list of artists who’ve paid tribute to this beloved treat through song. Whether it’s a metaphor, a craving, or a cheeky lyrical twist, these tracks remind us why chocolate truly deserves to be celebrated — in every sense of the word.

Bread and Chocolate by Eva Schubert
Eva Schubert is a singer and songwriter based in Vancouver, Canada. Inspired by jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Nina Simone, blues icons like Etta James, and — perhaps improbably — Leonard Cohen, she writes in a diverse range of styles. Her recently released fourth album, The Feel of your Love, produced by Bryant Didier is a sultry, sometimes hypnotic collection of songs to effortlessly shift the colour of your mood.
朱古力牛奶 (Chocolate Milk) by 顧三十
Emerging from the indie-pop scene, 顧三十 (Gu Sanshi) is quickly becoming known for his laid-back melodies and witty lyricism. His song Chocolate Milk (朱古力牛奶) is a perfect example of how music can transform something as simple as a favourite drink into a playful, soulful expression of youth and longing.
While the title might suggest an ode to the creamy childhood beverage, this track goes deeper. Wrapped in jazzy undertones and breezy vocals, Chocolate Milk becomes a metaphor for sweetness, comfort, and perhaps the uncomplicated joys of young love. 顧三十 masterfully uses this seemingly light-hearted symbol to explore subtle emotions — from the innocent awkwardness of early romance to the warmth of shared moments.
The song’s easy groove and clever wordplay have made it a favourite among Mandarin-speaking audiences looking for music that feels both familiar and refreshing. Much like the drink itself, Chocolate Milk leaves a smooth, lingering sweetness — making it a charming addition to any playlist celebrating chocolate in all its delicious, symbolic forms.
朱古力 一粒就夠 by ZeonGogo, Chi On Chan
ZeonGogo brings a playful, cheeky energy to the music scene with 朱古力 一粒就夠, a song that proves sometimes, less really is more — especially when it comes to chocolate. The title, which translates to One Piece of Chocolate is Enough, cleverly uses chocolate as a metaphor for desire, satisfaction, and knowing when just a little is all it takes to hit the sweet spot.
ZeonGogo’s signature style blends pop with a splash of quirky humour, making 朱古力 一粒就夠 more than just a novelty song — it’s a playful anthem for those who appreciate sweetness in moderation, with just enough teasing to keep you hooked.
Chocolate by BAEKHYUN ベクヒョン
When it comes to delivering smooth vocals and irresistible charm, few artists do it like BAEKHYUN (ベクヒョン). Known for his soulful tone and flawless delivery as a soloist and a member of EXO, BAEKHYUN’s song Chocolate wraps all of his signature style into a track that’s as indulgent and addictive as the treat itself.
Chocolate leans heavily into sultry pop-R&B vibes, with lyrics that weave together sweetness, desire, and temptation — all under the familiar, universally loved metaphor of chocolate.
ช็อคโกแลต (Chocolate) by Hangman
Proving that chocolate isn’t just reserved for pop songs and love ballads, Thai rock band Hangman injects bold energy into the chocolate-inspired music scene with their song ช็อคโกแลต (Chocolate). Known for their edgy rock sound and powerful performances, Hangman takes a different approach to the theme — blending sweetness with raw emotion and grit.
Chocolate in this song isn’t simply about the sugary treat — it’s used as a symbol of desire, temptation, and the bittersweet complexities of relationships. With heavy guitar riffs, punchy drums, and intense vocals, the track captures the highs and lows of love, where moments of sweetness are often laced with tension and longing.
Hangman’s signature rock style sets this song apart from other chocolate-themed tracks, giving it a rebellious, rough-around-the-edges feel while still keeping the metaphor playful and relatable. It’s a reminder that chocolate — much like love and life — can be smooth and delightful, but also messy, addictive, and intense.
Chocolate Passion by 凛として時雨
For those who like their music intense, experimental, and dripping with raw emotion, 凛として時雨 (Ling Tosite Sigure) delivers exactly that — and their track Chocolate Passion is no exception. Known for their fast-paced, high-energy sound that fuses post-hardcore, math rock, and progressive elements, this Japanese trio takes the concept of chocolate and flips it into an electrifying metaphor for obsession, desire, and inner turmoil.
Chocolate Passion is far from your typical sweet, sugary love song. Instead, it’s an explosive, chaotic burst of sound where piercing guitars, frantic drums, and alternating high-pitched and aggressive vocals collide — mirroring the overwhelming, addictive nature of passion itself. Chocolate, in this context, becomes a symbol for something you crave to the point of madness — a rush of sweetness that’s impossible to resist, yet leaves you breathless and disoriented.
Ling Tosite Sigure’s signature style transforms Chocolate Passion into a sonic rollercoaster, perfect for those who enjoy their music complex, layered, and filled with raw energy. It reminds us that chocolate — much like love and desire — isn’t always neat or gentle. Sometimes, it’s wild, chaotic, and burns with an intensity that’s hard to contain.
Happy Chocolate Day!
