"Choices" is the lead single from the English indie pop band The Hoosiers, taken from their second studio album, The Illusion of Safety, and was released in the UK on 1 August 2010. The single was the band's fifth released single overall.
The music video of "Choices" was by the directing duo Diamond Dogs, who also directed the Hoosiers in "Worried about Ray", "Goodbye Mr A" and "Cops and Robbers".
Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
However, those critics might just owe them a rethink, because musically-speaking the Anglo-Swedish trio have managed to suppress their more irksome tendencies. In fact, 'Choices' finds them adopting an oh-so contemporary electropop complete with big rubbery synths that Calvin Harris wouldn't cock a snook at. Crucially, in the process they haven't lost their ability to pen a proper pop chorus or, for that matter, a middle 8 that swells like an Olympic gold medallist's chest. Odd-pop? Nope, this is just top pop. (For the record, we tend to plump for both, but on the side.) .
