Overview Edit

"Galvanize" is the first single from The Chemical Brothers' 2005 album Push the Button. It was released a week before the album's release and peaked at #3 in the UK charts (see 2005 in music). It won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in February 2006. That same month, an Anheuser-Busch television commercial for Budweiser Select featured "Galvanize". The song also started appearing in NBC's Sunday Night Football coverage in 2008.

The track features a distinct Moroccan string sample from Najat Aatabou's song "Just Tell Me the Truth". The main hook of the song is in an unusual 6/4 time signature. The track also features rapping by Q-Tip (formerly of A Tribe Called Quest). In part of the song, a sample from their early single Leave Home plays.

In Australia, the song was ranked #65 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.
