Ms. Dynamite performed the track at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London.

She has taken the melody from the song "Chitarra Romana" a popular Roman song written by Bruno Cherubini and Eldo Di Lazzaro in 1934.[1] https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitarra_romana

Versions

There are two versions that were released, album and radio edit. For the "Radio Edit" Ms. Dynamite had re-written her lyrics instead of using the censor option, which is more popular among artists who release singles with inappropriate content for radio. American hip hop rapper Trina is known for re-writing verses for songs she plans to release as singles. The "Radio Edit" was released on promotional singles only. On clean versions of A Little Deeper, a censored version is used bleeping out inappropriate content. The "Album Version" was released on physical UK CD singles.
