The track went back and forth between Xenomania and the band several times before completion. A restructure put Cheryl's opening "I've got to heat it up" line at the beginning as well as in the middle, and a third remix turned the song into a full on dance track.

As usual with Xenomania productions, the song has an unpredictable structure: very brief vocal intro, then the chorus, then the verse, and of course a pneumatic bridge to die for. And also as usual, we get the best genius/stupid lyrics a mega-selling girl group has to offer: "Something kinda ooooh/Jumping on my tu-tu/Something inside of me/Wanting part of you/Something kinda ooooh/Makes my heart go boom boom/Something inside of me/Wanting what you do/Something kinda ooooh/Bumpin' in the back room." Elisabeth Vincentelli

2006 was the year we found out that dance is back and pop and this is living proof. Unlike 'All Good Things' and 'Crazy', this is no revelation in songwriting. But it was never going to be. Also unlike them, this is British. Thank fuck for that. Imperialism at it's best. Jumping on the new-rave bandwagon, Xenomania and Girls Aloud shake off the ballads, borrow from C&C Music Factory's 'Gonna Make You Sweat (Everbody Dance Now)' and create the biggest dance record of the year.If you want to dispute their punk credentials? Who else brings nine year old girls this close to a head-fuck without the bat of an eyelid? Punk that! Pop Boy

"Something Kinda Ooh", the single from the group's
forthcoming best-of, Girls Aloud jump right into a club track that feels like
it's about 90% chorus, trying really really hard to get something kinda ooh
bumpin' in the back room. And of course they do. They come on pretty strong,
all power-synths and cardio-facilitating throb, and you can't resist the hooks.
But they're not irresistible, just relentless. Not necessarily a criticism--
you can dance to it (you kind of have to)-- but there's nothing hiding in the
corners, no quirks to explore. It scorches, but the trade-off is that there's
no room to get comfortable, no room for them to charm or wink. They say they've
only got until it's 2:59. David Moore

OK, so it's not Biology, but given that Biology is the best pop single
of the last decade, that's no reason to be giving it the high hat. What it is,
is an effortlessly lascivious, ecstatic 198 seconds of thundering medium-NRG
brimming with the Alouds' trademark nonsense lyrics (what "something kinda
oooh/jumping on my tutu" means, we may never know, although it seems to
suggest a ballerina being menaced by a spider) and synth stabs employed as
cudgels. It's been said before, but they are one presentation of Nicola
Roberts' P45 away from being a truly great band. Peter Cashmore

Something Kinda Ooooh is the girls' thirteenth single and is more
proof that they are this country's finest pop act. It's another head-spinningly
inventive number from the Xenomania team, totally different to what they've
done before and Girls Aloud's most obvious move into dance. The lyrics manage
to sound both fantastically nonsensical and incredibly dirty ("something
kinda ooooh, jumping on my toot-toot"), while there's a huge, futuristic,
almost rave sound to the single, while still having more hooks than a
fly-fishing box.

Xenomania once again redefine the rules of writing a truly great pop
song by having two completely different types of verse, a winning 'slow' moment
(bless Kimberley), and a whizz-bang
chorus.
