"Chick Fit" is a song performed by British-Canadian recording girl group All Saints from their third studio album Studio 1. It was released as the second and final single from the album on 26 February 2007. The release was originally planned to include a two-part physical but that was cancelled due to the poor sales of Studio 1 and a fall-out between All Saints and their label Parlophone Records. "Chick Fit" was then released as a digital-only single instead. The song was co-written by group member Shaznay Lewis in collaboration with the song's producer Rick Nowels. It has prominent dance-pop, electropop, ska and hip hop musical characteristics. The song is lyrically influenced by feelings of feminism and infatuation.
"Chick Fit" garnered a mainly positive response from contemporary music critics. Despite the lack of a physical release, "Chick Fit" achieved charting success in Slovakia where it peaked at number 26.
"Chick Fit" was accompanied by a music video which was directed by Daniel Wolfe and released on 18 January 2007. The video features the American street dance, Krumping.
All Saints performed the song on a T4 Special and Popworld, and on various other television shows and at several gigs around the United Kingdom.
On 15 January 2007, All Saints announced on their official website that "Chick Fit" was going to be released as the second single from Studio 1 on 26 February 2007. Following the poor sales of Studio 1 All Saints were en route to being dropped by their label Parlophone Records before "Chick Fit" was released. The single release was later cancelled and at the same time not supported by radio stations. Parlophone then decided to release "Chick Fit" as a promotional, download-only single to cut costs following the poor performances of All Saints' Studio 1 and fellow labelmate Robbie Williams' Rudebox.
